ykw i’m taking back my 3 stars. this book is basically just a proof na sa una lang magagaling ang mga lalaki tangina FUCK MEN—especially samuel hayes fortalejo!!!! he doesn’t deserve any ounce of love deanne gave him. the fact na kung hindi nag-cheat si shan at di niya nalamang lesbian siya, KASAL PA RIN SILA. kaya parang ang labas ay binalikan lang ni samuel si d dahil wala na yung marriage niya. like an fmc being a second choice in her own book???? SAMUEL HAYES FORTALEJO NOBODY COULD EVER MAKE ME LIKE YOU may pa-‘not how i loved you’ ka pang nalalaman ulol kaya ka nagpakasal kasi gusto mong may ka-exclusive fuck buddy ka. D DESERVES A BETTER MAN, yung meron sanang bayag at emotional intelligence!!!!

compared to other installments, this was probably the least stressful one (well at least for me) but it was heartbreaking as hell esp sa law few chaps. i really love deanne since ptg era but my love for her grew so much more upon reading her story 🥺 best girl so much! i honestly think that she deserved better than samu pero sige okay lang, kung saan siya masaya edi go haha after all it was clear naman na it will always be samu or no one for her. i'm happy they both got their happy ending wc is ending up together. cried a lot sa last few chaps huhu deanne had gone through so much pain i wanna hug her!! with that i say iñigo best boy!!!!!! he's always been there for deanne thru ups and downs i love him so so much LORD

one thing i didn't like about this lang is the pacing huhu for me it was kinda fast 😞 nonetheless i still enjoyed it and i felt so much kilig sa law sch days nina deanne & samu (before the sisihan thingy happened lol)

self care is finishing this book when deanne tells herself that she deserves better. i honestly feel like they didn’t need to end up together in the end because truth be told, samu doesn’t deserve deanne at all. but whatever makes deanne happy.

speaking of deanne, she deserves the whole world. she was so bright and bubbly and then all the pain and heartache she went through just washed all her colours away. i’m so glad she had kitty and iñigo by her side (IÑIGO BEST GS BOY FR FR).

i have nothing to say about samu besides the fact that he made some very questionable and stupid decisions. i swear during the present time everyone, and i mean him, shanelle & his mother just appeared out of nowhere and teamed up together to maximise their joint stupidity to mess up deanne’s quiet life. like, miss maam just wanted to be a girlboss attorney in her cute little firm and then BAM here comes her ex boyfriend ready to ruin her life ONCE AGAIN like wtf 😭😭 samu and shanelle really got me frustrated man.

i don’t know how else to end this besides fuck the frat!!!!!

and we love u miss ad <3 😝

everything you will read underneath is me LITERALLY after reading the entirety of the book. i was high on feels because i actually liked samu and had so much hopes for him so to say this uhm.. i was just disappointed. i really loved their relationship. samu as your first boyfriend is super oa na blessing na tbh. ig he's human to feel those things that he felt. but i still think deanne deserved better. ik he's hurt kaya niya nasabi yon, but still not valid to vent it out on her when all she did was to support him. GOD SHE EVEN BECAME HIS ONE MAN BAROPS TEAM. so if samu apologist ka then, sorry ig? but i said what i said.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

good book. ACTUALLY enjoyed it as someone na never pa nagkajowa, this is a treat. deanne just deserved someone who loves her for everything that she is. i actually see myself in deanne the most thats why...

ang one star na to ay para kay Samu. magsama kayo ni Sean sa bottom tier ko ng GS boys. Samu's character is very human, very imperfect--ONE STAR. you know what fucked me up? SAMU COULDVE GONE TO HER AND APOLOGIZED BUT INSTEAD FOUND ANOTHER WOMAN THAT IS CONVENIENT, AND MARRIED HER because he's too much of an ass and deep inside he hates deanne. CRAZY! found a woman that has the same misery as him to marry bc he cant be with a woman who achieved more than him. well. hes just a man.


finished this and loved Iñigo more with all the love i could possibly give.

THE POTENTIAL OF THIS BOOK IF DI SYA NI RUSH AND AT THE SAME TIME, DI SYA PINATAGAL?!?!?! GODDDDD. SAMU AND DEANNE’S CHARACTERS ARE IN NEED OF JUSTICE. THEY SUFFERED SO MUCH, YET GINANUN LANG YUNG ENDING?? ALSO, WHERE WAS THE COURT SCENE THAT WAS PROMISED??? DI SYA NAKAKA-GAME SERIES, ESP NA BARE MINIMUM LANG BINIGAY SA ENDING. I WOULD GIVE THIS TWO STARS IF IT WERENT BEFORE ARYESA FUCKED IT UP. IM SO SORRY.

Good read talaga. Worth basahin. Nag-expect talaga ako ng matinding iyakan, ganorn. I mean, umiyak naman ako pero majority bigat sa dibdib talaga yung mararamdaman mo.

I am soo happy for them. They went through a lot. Valid talaga feelings nilang dalawa. I love them. I love Deanne so much! I never hated her character. And as for Samuel, I understood him noong nabasa ko na point of view niya. Wala talagang perfect na tao. Tao sya kaya naramdaman n’ya ‘yon. Nagawa n’ya ‘yon.

At the end of the day, what's important is that they both healed, forgave each other, and are happy together.

Lesson learned throughout reading: Don't ever try to bend things for someone. You'll end up hating them for making you bend things for them.

Favourite quote: “Hindi iyon ‘yung priority ko. Hindi ko priority maging successful. Gusto ko lang sumaya.”
—Deanne

Success doesn't mean happiness. Happiness doesn't mean success.

LAST NOTE: I LOVEEE BEEEYOOOTTCHH you mever disappoint 🫶🫶😘😘

The Game Series is part of my SHS days. It's raw and feels real. It inspires me to do well in academics because the characters influence me to do so, that's why I kept coming back to Beeyotch.

Love is not linear, we don't know what the future holds. Your partners were not perfect. Time and current situations will test your love and trust in each other— your whole relationship basically. Despite everything that happened (Including the controversial annulment with Shanelle) all I can say is, "The heart wants what it wants." That's what I've learned about Deanne and Samuel. (Their love story literally stressed me out for real, and I needed to comfort myself with other light stories) A roller coaster ride yet it's worth riding for! 🫶

After so many years natapos ko din 🤣 Started reading this around 2022? But stopped dahil sobrang tagal ng update. Nawala excitement ko.

Picked this up again this June. Si Deanne na ata favorite character sa Gale Series. Grabe sobrang magmahal. Wala ako masabi. Basta I really like her character. As for Samuel, ewan ko sayo. Pero na intindihan ko naman feelings nya pero ang dami nyang decisions na mapapailing ka na lang.

Their story could be better. Akala ko ang dami pa
Mangyayari during annulment pero nakulangan ako. Like 20+ chapters is about the present time and the annulment case pero parang kulang na kulang?

Happy for them pero bakit ganun? Huhu.

4/5

If Deanne didn’t do a preview on their relationship, I wouldn’t have been able to guess how they broke up ‘cause Samuel is too ideal. At some point, I realized that Samuel didn’t deserve Deanne after all he had done but oh well… kung hindi si Samu baka tumandang dalaga nalang si Deanne, he also fixed himself din naman, good for him siguro…

gusto ko magsabi ng masasamang words. eme.

Walang dulot talaga na maganda frat sa series na ito.
Nakaka sad, ang heavy ng mga nahuling chapters. Nabitin ako sa mga masasayang chapters 😭 (as a hopeless romantic girlie)
Nevertheless, happy akong happy ang ending ng story ni Samuel at Deanne ♥️

felt lacking. hindi masyado natackle marriage nila samu and shanelle (like how did it happen and ano dynamics nila) parang wala masyadong detailed backstory. nawala na din yung momentum nung ang tagal nag update. i feel like she could have write it better kung hindi siya nag-stop.

Deanne should stay on her ground

[moro · Rating 2 out of 5]

ang boring ng leads. mas interesting character ni samuel, si deanne kasi parang walang ganap sa sariling story. pero mas maiirita ka kay samu HAHA

i expected this to be heavy next to rtg. but i was quite disappointed that it's not and it felt rushed.
