Just The Benefits

by Beeyotch

Imogen Harrison has been dating campus heartthrob Parker Yapchengco. But no one knows about it. Bagaman pumayag si Imogen na ilihim nila ni Parker ang kanilang relasyon ay hindi nawawala ang kanyang mga agam-agam tungkol dito. Buti na lang at madalas siyang damayan ni Shiloah Suarez, ang bagong transferee sa kanilang eskuwelahan na kabaliktaran ang ugali kay Parker.

Will she be selfish and stay with Parker while keeping Shiloah by her side? Or will she break up with him for good and choose someone she can be with in public?

i remember loving this book in my teenage years (i first read it on wattpad), but now i kind of hate it because of imogen. even though this is written in her point of view, i can't see what these guys see in her. i get it, she's beautiful and has blue eyes, but her personality is a bit off, and she keeps making these stupid decisions. she got on my last nerve. i didn't see any character development with her at all until the end. it didn't feel right. i believe she needed more time to be alone, to grieve, to be more independent, and to grow.

shiloah is the only reason i'm giving this book 3 stars. he's an angel, and he deserves better than imogen.

I felt the story was rushed. While I liked the plot, there were so many events happening all at once that it became overwhelming. Additionally, I found the protagonist/heroine character problematic; she reminded me of those individuals who create toxic relationships with their push-and-pull mindset. I was also saddened by the loss of one of the most important characters. However, I understand that this might have been the writer’s intention to enhance the story’s ending and open up possibilities for future stories and characters.

I felt the story was rushed. I liked the plot, but maybe too many events were happening all at once that overwhelmed me. Moreover, I found the protagonist/heroine character problematic. She reminded me of those girls who cause toxic relationships with their push-and-pull mindset. I also felt sad one of the most important characters is gone. Still, maybe that was what the writer intended to make the story's ending better and to open up possibilities for future stories and characters.

Reading Imogen's pov was STRESSFUL and made me question her morals throughout the whole book. But the plot and author's writing style kept me flipping pages. Absolutely LOVED the characters and she made them feel so real. No regrets having bought this! Though I do think it's one of Beeyotch's books that were before she wrote more and improved. So I'm excited to read more books from her!

TOBI AKIN KA NALANG. MY MAN MY MAN MY MAN

I really felt hurt for parker and I hated Imogen.. that's why I didn't read the story for shiloa in Self-Pub book. I just can't 🥺

Parker should've just told her from the start. Ang sakit mo Imo, I feel bad for Shiloah. Nakakaiyak din 'to. Lalo na 'yung sa POV ni Parker. 😭
