i compare this mina v esguerra’s last bk with rose as the mc. where she’s the only one in her fam who hasn’t left US and her family wants her to but she doesn’t want.

either way 5 stars. new author whose backlist I will jump at the chance to read

i only wish we saw more of tala’s life after . this is perfect blend of fluffy, realistic, and sultry.

i love dad lines. like it’s just terrible fun.

another reviewer said that jason has just as many green flags as he does red flags—and honestly, I agree. his initial response is a riot. but time worthy turn on the beaten path. he is still a good guy but it’s still selfish of him. I kinda love it. all the trouble, it’s imperfect and realistic to a degree. it’s not because of his privilege as wm or his job. at least not entirely but because of how bad he wants it

There's so many things I want to say about this : as an immigrant we all want to go home as success, we are told that getting out is thd dream but whose dream and is it really? This is such an important choice. I love that Anj Miranda is talking about how it.

Tala is from the Philippines. She has been helping support her family from the US/Canada(?) for quite a while.

I am not here to talk about the romance though I love it. It’s bashful, confident and built on years of fondness, longing and dare I say waiting.

This is your sign to read more Filipino romances. Anj Miranda's The Off Chance of You and Me is soft, humorous, flirty but also kind of serious in wonderful thoughtful ways. 
This is a 2nd chance romance between college friends . Very much the one who got away. Jason is NBA player who secretly is environmental geek who might be done with 🏀. Tala is care nurse but her real passion is dance.

Real world discussions about wealth, power, immigration, and class differences. This book touches on repatriation. How the return might not be determined by success but choice.
