This is by far the best PSICOM book I’ve read. It’s unique in many ways. Firstly, it uses a man’s POV – first person. Yes, absolutely. Secondly, it takes in Palawan – completely. Thirdly, the guy’s a native of Palawan – it’s not about two vacationers having a summer fling or something. Thirdly, the way it’s written…it’s like a cross between pang-masa and middle-class. That’s actually the biggest problem I have with it, but I think that has more to do with my upbringing than anything else.
But anyway…
Chris is the son of a resort owner. One day, a Manila guest asks if he wants to play the role of her boyfriend…for five days, no strings attached. That girl is Mia: she’s fun and loopy all at the same time. Chris finds himself agreeing. After all, surely nothing much could happen in five days, right?

The one thing I didn’t like about the book was its ending. I love happily-ever-after so obviously this one didn’t have that. Is all.
Rating: 7/10 but for others, I’m sure this could rate an 8 or 9.
eeeww

Ow crap! I accidentally read the spoiler! I’m still in chapter 11… -_-
i love this book! I don’t know how it happened but I actually have a copy of this story since I was in highschool. That was like 6 years ago…a friend emailed me a copy and I actually thought the story true and being a teenage lovestruck highschool student I totally believed the characters are true as well..I even searched the internet for the possible location of Chris’ resort..hahaha
oops sorry!!!
you should ask the author about that hehe. i think she has a blog somewhere. or a website.
i need to have a copy of this book! you know what, last summer i was in puerto princesa for 5 days, and, i met the owner of the inn’s son. and before i left palawan, he told me he loves me. but i didnt ask him to be my boyfriend-kuno like in the story! HAHAHA. oh-kay, so right now, days passed, and i dumped him. awwww.
Kakatapos ko lang basahin ito kanina. Sobrang nagustuhan ko ang takbo ng kwento lalo na’t ito’y hinango sa panlalaki na POV. Kuhang kuha ng writer ang pag-tutukoy sa bawat eksena kaya naman sa bawat oras na binabasa ko ito’y tila baga’y ramdam ko rin and nararamdaman ng pangunahing karakter na si Chris. Ang ganda ng bagsak ng bawat salita. Nalaman ko na lamang na nadadala na ako noong hindi ko na maiwasang mawala ang takbo ng istorya sa isip ko, kaya naman tinapos ko ito kaagad. Makikita mo talaga na maganda at epektibo ang libro kapag apektado ka nito hanggang kaluluwa. Sana’y may pangalawang istroya pa tungkol sa pag-ibig ang Author na si Zara Irigo. Ni-rarate ko ang libro ng 9/10. Magaling, magaling! ^_^
i like the twist of the story. and ang sarap ulit ulitin. promise…
