The Philippine Star

This week’s winners

It’s about a famous actor, Graham, and a small town girl, Ellie, who accidental­ly meet — virtually — when Graham sends Ellie an e-mail about his pet pig. It was quite funny that the start of everything was because of a pig, but later on I found out that there was more to the story than I had expected. Ellie is an illegitima­te daughter of a senator, who might run for president in the future. The story showed me how Ellie and her mother struggled to earn for a living and it really captured my emotions. Ellie is a talented person who wants to go on a poetry course in Harvard but she doesn’t have the money to do so. This moved me very much because I don’t want her dreams to be shattered as much as I don’t want mine to be. A fluffy, romantic and heartwarmi­ng novel, this book is a must read because it will surely leave a smile on your face. A corner table at a cozy cafe witnesses many things: A couple about to end their relationsh­ip. A young teacher accepts her younger brother’s challenge to quit dating for two months. A guy plotting a scheme for his bestfriend not to get married. A guy who can’t stop loving the girl who got away. And a girl sitting alone, reading romance novels, waiting for her turn to fall in love. It’s a compilatio­n of short stories about love, loss, hope and heartbreak. I like the stories because the situations are very realistic and relatable. This Closure (4th story) is my favorite among all because it gives me so much feels. It was so sad and heartbreak­ing but I learned something from it.
