I’m not much of a fan of this one. I’ve read a lot of Mina’s work but this didn’t blow me away like the others. The timeline was intentionally short and I feel like it hindered parts of the story from being fully fleshed out. I had a hard time really getting into the story because it was one scene on to the next, so so quickly! I just don’t roll that way with books. The main characters, Ben and Naya, were good characters but honestly forgettable. The tour of Manila was great though! I wish there was more of it.
What I did like was the message of the story, it’s what compelled me to rate it 3 stars. “MAKE GOOD DAYS.” It’s such an optimistic reminder and very timely too. I remind myself of this line whenever I feel down. It’s a good sentiment that gave the story a fresh vibe.
Still looking forward to the rest of the books in this series. Hope I have better luck with them.
