Title is telling me it's a promising yet a sad beautiful story. In another life-feels! And as I saw the cover I'm feeling sad as if the story would be of like a diary that will be told. Somehow-like an old story pass by on. Then the blurb seems to justify my thoughts of the cover and the title but I hope character will be given justice if it's tragic. Maeve is relatable I can say but she's more on point haha. Her character is really lovable. In the first chapter seemed like a based on real event-feeling I guess? Feeling ko ung nagsusulat nito is un ung nararamdaman niya talaga sa place. Love the narration and the description of the place like it was meant to be written to fall in love with Batanes too. The characters voice is clear. I love the clean narration, nice!

Overall, this is a nice and unique story-well, not in a sense na wala pa akong nabasa na ganito or napanuod. 'Yong feels na ibinibigay niya sa akin bilang reader at hindi bilang judge, that's how unique it was. Ang smooth ng narration although I noticed some minimal lapses in terms of tenses of some words. Maaga rin naiparating ang main conflict which is a good thing dahil limang chapters pa lang ang required sa amin na basahin. Also, I appreciate that even though hindi pa ako nakakapunta sa Batanes... sa way of narration mo, I was able to imagine it in my head. Thank you and good luck!

Solid tips and a tangible title that would give readers idea. It seems like a journey of heartbreaks. The cover is simple but captivating b'cause for me the fonts were well used. Blurb would give inexplicable theories about the characters differences. I wonder why Jules want to end it. Jules undecisiveness and the flaws of Mikky as a boyfriend of 6yr relationship is relatable and realistic. It's realistic and I'm looking forward of Jules' decision regarding the loss of spark of their relationship. I always wonder how Jules will end up with a very reasonable break-up. Will she achieve or end up stuck or tweaked it? I like it and I'm feeling a bit gloomy about their relationship!

Una sa lahat, sobrang galing lang ng k'wentong ito! I mean, mostly kasi ng mga nabasa ko ng story rito sa wattpad ay about nga sa proseso kung paano ma-develop ang mga main protagonists sa isa't isa. So, considering that you took the other way around wowed me. Also, I really love the cover! Para sa akin kasi, relationships are like an endless road wherein tayo mismo ang makapagsasabi kung kailan tayo hihinto-either magpapahinga or susuko na dahil wala naman patutungu8.5 thing is, sobrang dama ko ang feels ng main character na si Jules... Her pain and disappointments? Sobrang on-point! Minsan kasi sa relasyon, kapag matagal na kayo talagang makakaranas na kayo ng medyo rough roads kasi nandoon na 'yong pagiging kampante na. Ayun, ang dami ko na sinabi! Overall, this a great story... just noticed a few errors in terms of technicality but it didn't take away the fact that this is a masterpiece! Good luck, my dear!
