Hello, fellow readers!
Like I mentioned in the last entry, the next book I'm reading is a romance genre to cool off my horrified soul. I was going to do an entry the morning after I read this book but I was too lazy, didn't feel like I was going to do analyzation and a review of this book. Well that's because how wack it is to me. I rated this book on goodreads for 3 stars. And here's what I said in the review:
First of all, I said I love it. I love how the characters aren't just white people romance. It's about a Jamaican girl and a Korean boy who fell in love, who met each other in the end, proves that fate really works. I love the whole idea of the book. Its about fate, the universe and how the characters are the exact polar opposites of each other. I mean, that's technically how romance genre is about though, right? About two characters not agreeing about a certain topic and somehow they turned out okay in the end, right? Second, a book that felt like reading a fanfiction is not wrong though I tell you that. And that's the end of what I like about the book. Moving on to what I'd say it's a wack. Everything, for some reason happens so fast. Halfway through the book I realized, its all in the same day. I did not liked that. The book also focuses on love at first sight. In my very honest opinion that no one asked for, I never believed in love at first sight. Show me anyone who's had a love at first sight, I would just probably mentally judge you. Sorry not sorry.
For the characters, I don't like anyone at all. I'm not attached to anyone in this book. Natasha, which is one of the main characters in the books annoys the soul out of me. She just seems quirky to me, not like it's wrong but there's this type of energy that I don't like from her. Her dialogue? Chaotic in a bad way. Confusing. Indecisive. Selfish. A so-called stand up for yourself but didn't do it because COWARD! For Daniel, he just seems like every dreamy non-existent Korean boyfriend that exists in this world. He's so cheesy that I hate it a lot. He's too perfect to even exist. I don't know, reading him is like someone who haven't encountered a Korean boy and expects him to have this dreamy personality.
There's a lot of side characters in the book. Everytime Natasha or Daniel meets someone, there will be a chapter for the character. It just proves how the universe or fate works. Like how Natasha and Daniel met the same person for her lawyer and his interview and how the attorney had an accident with the guy who almost hit Natasha (who told her to look at her phone while crossing the road, dumb)
I guess that's all for the book review. It's not that bad, it could've been better. I would have been 90% convinced that fate exists if things in the book happens more than just a day. Give me more than just a mess between parents (very minimal in this book). Give me more than just...finding each other on the same city, place, country. Give me that long distance kind of fate. It happens later in the book but not quite enough for me.
well, alright.
that's enough for today's entry.
not telling you what i'm reading next haha
(i seem mad in the entry but i swear its the book haha)
