Book for the week

I'm reading "Funny Accent" by Barbara Shulgasser-Parker. She also wrote the move "Pret-a-Porter" and was also a film critic.

I think it's hilarious! Beautifully written and poignant. She wrote something there that made me go "Awww...."

They say marriage is the end of romance - it's not. It's the start. He says I love you and I say I love you to him. The good part starts then.... No more wondering, no more maneuvering.... Full of confidence, you start every day with the sole determination to demonstrate your love and bask in his... That's the romance - keeping love joyously alive everyday.

Keri mo ate?

Update: It's 10:41, roughly an hour and a half after I started reading the book. I'm done and I can't help but feel like I've been robbed.

Though the book was interestingly written, full of passion and comedic sorts injected in places you know they should be, the ending was a bit lacking.

The book is about a woman who, after three decades finally realizes that she was sexually abused by an old family friend (about 30 years older). She finally decided to write about it, as she is a writer, and thereby opening a can of worms.

It does not help that the molester, aside from being a family friend, was also a one time lover of her mother! Ay dios ko!

It's an interesting book - interesting enough however, the ending could've been better.
