The Second Time Around

by Jhing Bautista

Fresia wanted to love Richard. She tried for three years, pero walang nangyari. She thought that she wasn't capable of love because she wasn't shown love, growing up. Ang ate niya ang magaling. Ang ate niya ang importante. Ang ate niya ang mas mahal. When they lost Fiona, mas lalong lumayo ang loob ng mga magulang niya sa kanya.

She couldn't be like Fiona. She couldn't even love Richard, na mas mahal pa ng mga magulang niya sa kanya. For a long time, she believed that there's something wrong with her... until she met Bullet, the hot interior designer that she mistook for a stripper.

But with Bullet's dark past clouding their present, can they have a future together?

Gave me joy na Kapampangan si Bullet. Sa buong Starving Squad series, ito yung paulit-ulit kong nare-read. Siguro dahil relate ako sa anger issues ni Fresia. I got reminded that Bullet is my exact ideal type. I love how their love progressed. They fixed each other, and then they failed each other. I loved the aspect of family issues too, it gave me a good cry. Medyo bitin but it's already a JhingBautista style that I'm used to. Besides, unang libro pa lang ito sa Starving Squad series.

I love the storyline and the use of words that create the story. I gave it 4 stars it should've been 4.5 but we don't have that as an individual rating here on Goodreads. I wanted to know more about what happened between these two. Based on my understanding, the author has no intention of adding more chapters to the book. Nevertheless, I am eagerly anticipating the sequel or another stand-alone story in this series.
