Summary (cr: goodreads)

One night, I waited for hours to see a falling star. But when I finally caught sight of it, it was gone bago pa man ako makapag-wish. That night, I vowed to never look up at the sky again. Siguro kasi na-realize ko that no matter how long I wait, hindi mapapasaakin ang tinitingala ko at kung bumagsak man ito, malayo pa rin para maabot ko.

Fast forward to the present. Enter Bryan Lim sa eksena.Guwapo, matalino, mayaman, pinagkakaguluhan. Every inch a star. At ako, si Daniella, isang simpleng high school girl, hindi kagandahan, hindi kayamanan, hindi katangakaran (lahat na yata ng hindi gaano, ako na, pero matalino naman, sabi nila), biglang naging girlfriend niya?

Spell HIMALA.

Hindi kaya ito na yung star na hinihintay kong bumagsak sa lupa?

My Review: (also in goodreads)

It's amazing to see famous Filipino wattpad stories being published. And even more amazing to know that people are beginning to love reading. I read this story out of sheer curiosity. The title already summarized what to be expected in the book what I wanted to read about was how did it come to end. Daniella is that simple girl surviving a break-up caused by her boyfriend and her traitorous ex-best friend colliding to the world of a world-famous artist. I know that these type of plots are cliche and sure some scenes were cringe-worthy but if you are looking for a book you could read in one sitting, I guess these ones are for you.

Till the next read...
