A Latte Like Love

by Ariesa Jane Domingo, forgottenglimmer, Riell Dela Cruz (Illustrator)

In a small, warm nook amid the city's hustle and bustle, Chaina finds love over a cup of iced latte when a mysterious tattooed guy named Apo shares his table with her.

Meanwhile, up in her condo unit in the same building, her roommate, Chynna, struggles to run away from love as the boy who broke her heart refuses to stop calling her.

Maliban sa pangalan, Chynna and Chaina don't have a lot in common. Independent, headstrong at palaban si Chynna at ang mga ugaling ito ang nagbigay sa kanya ng lahat ng kanyang pinapangarap makamtan sa buhay. Samantalang ang shy, naive at at impressionable na si Chaina ay nag-uumpisa pa lamang hanapin ang kanyang sarili and what she truly wants in her life. And yet fate somehow found a way for them to become the best of friends.

Little do they know that life has something more brewing for them. It will test how strong their friendship is - and ultimately, how much they are willing to sacrifice for love.

It was quite interesting. Although I already know Apo's real identity because it was so "obvious."It tackles more with friendship and I like it. BUT THE ENDING WAS SO DISAPPOINTING.

I’M SO MAD. Chynna should’ve still ended up with Drew. I can’t let go of it. Also, I didn’t really see anything special with Chaina. She’s just a cringey fan girl, if I were the guy, I’d be turned off because she was trying so hard. Though okay fine, good thing Chynna got someone for her whom she deserved. The book got me hooked and it was a fast read so bonus stars for that.

epilogue better than the whole story itself smh

A catchy story though I would have wanted Chynna and Chaina mended up at the end.

This is a great example of a book that gives lessons on friendship, love and forgiveness. What a great collaboration between these two writers.

Vague, predictable but a light read. I guess I expected more from the two authors since their published works are amazing.

okay ang mga characters but medyo nakakabitin and maiksi
