"Ano'ng ginagawa mo rito sa lugar namin?" matabang na tanong ni Neena kay Yuusuke. "Dinadalaw ka." "Hindi pa ako pinaglalamayan, bumalik ka na lang pagtanda ko." Natutong mahalin ni Neena si Yuusuke noong teenagers pa lamang sila. Subalit sobra siyang nasaktan sa bigla nitong pagkawala ng walang paalam. Sa paglipas ng mga taon wala siyang naging balita rito maliban sa mga scandal nitong nababasa niya sa mga magazines. But after eleven years, Yuusuke's back as her boss at muling pinalalambot ang puso niyang akala niya ay naging bato na pagdating sa pag-ibig. Minsan Pa is a wholesome Filipino Romcom.
Jessica E. Larsen is a Filipina writer based in Spain. As of May 2021, she decided to only write Filipino stories and publish her English stories under Jessie Winterspring.
More than anything though, she devours romance like an addict who needs drugs. This can be seen a lot in her writing.
She loves spending time reading and falling in love with fictional characters. Enjoy watching Japanese anime while eating noodles with chopsticks and drool at the 80s and 90s music videos.
She lives near the Mediterranean coast with her husband and mischievous but adorable son, where she gazed to the ocean and scheme how to torment annoying goody-two-shoes or straight-out murder bitchy exes.
Minsan Pa tells the story of Neena and Yuusuke and how their puppy love stood the test of time and bloomed into true love.
This book showcases typical Filipino family - how they look out for each other - how much they love and how invested they get when it comes to relationships: be it with their mom, brother, sister, employee, or lover.
I also love how this book made me chuckle a few times. Loved Neena's guts and how she faced her enemies and stand up for heself. <3
Yuusuke, on the other hand, I thought at first he was a spoiled brat but in the end he came through.
Five stars for Minsan Pa. Looking forward to reading more of Jessica's works.
