Synopsis:

Is love enough to make a person feel fulfilled and happy? Meet Popoy and Basha, two lovers who believe they are destined to be together forever. Practically inseparable, everyone around them knows there can be no Basha without the ever strict Popoy. Nor would Popoy exist without his damsel, Basha. But when one of them realizes their feelings for each other can no longer make them feel content, they resolve to search for themselves outside of the safety of each other. Will Popoy and Basha find happiness apart, or will they learn to give love One More Chance?

Based on the 2007 Filipino romance film produced by Star Cinema, starring Bea Alonzo and John Lloyd Cruz and directed by the award-winning director Cathy Garcia-Molina, this is the official novelization of the cult classic film that defined a generation's views on love and heartbreak.

Review:

Nung matapos ko ung book, narealize ko talaga na parang binasa ko ung summary ng The Despicable Guy. Tangina lang talaga. Mula dun sa email ni Helen kay Popoy sa CODA, un na talaga ung nafeel ko. Masyadong malalim ang feels ko para sa movie ng OMC at sa book ng TDG.

So, for a start medyo nakakapanibago na binabasa ko ung isa mga fave movie ko since wala naman kasi talaga siyang book in the first place. Nakakadisappoint kasi ginawan pa pero at the same time, natutuwa ako kasi meron. Nadisappoint lang siguro ako kasi okay na siya as a movie pero hindi pa nasatisfied ung tao kaya ginawan na rin ng book. You should watch the movie before or after mo mabasa ung book.

Madaming nadagdag sa book, narration na kasi. Ang daming eksena na nilagay sa book na wala naman sa movie pero isa din un sa reason kung bakit naging interesting siya basahin. Kasi may ibang rason ka talaga para basahin siya, di dahil isa siya sa magagandang movie, pero kasi more hugot yung book. Ang ganda nung narration ng One More Chance. Sobra-sobrang feels. Natapos ko nga ng isang araw lang. Madami lang distractions kaya umabot ng gabi. Akala ko lang talaga nung una, boring pero nung binabsa ko na siya ng tuloy-tuloy, ang daming revelations, ang daming hugot lines, ang daming feelings na di maeeexpress kung movie lang siya.

Kudos sa writer! (y)
