This was the perfect start to my holiday reading. De Guzman puts a distinctly Filipino twist on the familiar small business rivalry plot, complete with pranks, mouthwatering food and coffee descriptions, and some serious family issues for both leads. It‘s delightful AND a bit dark; my favourite combo.
And my goodness—Filipino Christmas sounds SO FUN! I want to join the celebration (minus the 4am Masses. I‘ll hit the 9pm ones instead).
