Totally Engaged von Mina V. Esguerra

In terms of plot and pace and prose, not really what I was looking for. However, it was interesting to read about modern-day Manila!

And how Rose wasn’t allowed to emigrate to the US with her parents and younger sisters; she’s since happily built her own life and her own business in the Philippines but her parents keep pressuring her to find a way to join them.

I also liked having a female protagonist in her 40s.

Iris After the Incident (Chic Manila, #8) von Mina V. Esguerra

Overall, glad I read it. Worked fine as a standalone, although I could tell there were a few references that had to be to other books in the series, I didn't really feel like I was missing anything important with them. I normally like there to be more to a story than modern girl meets modern boy and normal modern things happen, but that's just my preference for fantasy asserting itself. :) Was still a fun little book.

The Future Chosen: A political romance von Mina V. Esguerra

So this is part melodrama, part political thriller, and part low-angst second chance romance.

Have I lost my senses? Probably. I'm not sure what this book is though, so I mean, not really.

Anyway, the beginning of the book is swoony. So is the middle. I'm still working out how I feel about it as a romance because it is a strange one indeed. IT's one of those team-up, do everything for one another types. And it's a bit swoony. But also, that bit lacks tension and some of the external tension felt weirdly on-the-nose in this particular moment so I wasn't thrilled with that. It's not the book's fault.

I really don't know how to rate it, so I'm not going to. It was easy to read, be invested in, get a little wrung out from and yet did not hit that spot right now. None of this makes sense. Perhaps the highest praise is "yes, definitely I recommend if you are interested, and I'll be reading more from the author"

Also, have you seen this cover? (less) [edit]… (mehr)

Love Your Frenemies von Mina V. Esguerra

At this very moment, I know that I will break some girls' hearts because of my (it's ok) rating again. There are some of Mina Esguerra's works I like. It's just that I didn't enjoy this much; maybe because I could not relate on the characters that are beautiful, successful, liberated, meanI could be mean but it'll be another story, and those who have gone through past relationships because I'm quite the opposite. Though, it's good to see other people's perspectives.

Kimmy has a very big EGO, that's what makes her character interesting, but for some reason I prefer her appearance in [b:My Imaginary Ex|6692512|My Imaginary Ex|Mina V. Esguerra|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1249886699s/6692512.jpg|6887988]; I like more of her sauciness in there haha.

In this story, it shows that mean girls also have soft spots and vulnerabilities.

And now that I read this, I think Zack from [b:My Imaginary Ex|6692512|My Imaginary Ex|Mina V. Esguerra|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1249886699s/6692512.jpg|6887988] wasn't really that true with his feelings. lol.… (mehr)
