Review
I know I’ve made a pact to myself not to read any books while having my vacation eh? Oh well, sorry. I guess I wasn’t that strong enough to fight the urge to read this second book especially after reading the ending of the first book eh?
As a recollection, the second book continues right after what the first book left of. I was even happy because my guess this time happened. Oh well, not entirely but at least right? Hahaha.
This story started to talk about what happened two years after Klare found out that she was not a true blood Montefalco. That could have been a good news eh? But it’s already too late because she already pushed Elijah away. And this was hard because she loved her Montefalco family so much.
In the first chapter, it was said that Klare already changed her name to Ty. It wasn’t explained earlier in the book and I thought it wouldn’t be covered or will be mentioned. But as usual, I was wrong again. I guess my chance to become a seer is just 1% eh? Haay jonaxx, you always make all your stories so great that it’s hard for me to guess what will happen next.
So yeah, after a few more chapters, the reason behind Klare changing her last name to Ty was explained and it was so heartbreaking. It wasn’t about Elijah but it all because of her family. Huhu.
So yeah, Klare lived together with her biological father, two half brothers (Hendrix and Pierre), and the wife of her father. Surprisingly, the wife of her father isn’t a bitch. I know it could have been difficult, but I salute the wife. She may not be that close to Klare but at least she wasn’t that cruel eh?
For two years, Klare’s life revolved between her two families, Montefalco and Ty. She got to know more about her half brothers who always protect and love her so much. Oh Klare, I’m so jealous. But also, her relationship with her Montefalco “cousins” we’re tainted, especially the girls, and Erin would be the first in the list. Though, Claudette will always be by her side.
Klare wants to spend her vacation with her mom and her brother Charles and yeah, her biological father approved it. And obviously, Hendrick and Pierre accompany her. But then her parents are going to Singapore for 1 week so they decided to spend their vacation at the beach while waiting for them to come back. But while enjoying their vacation, her Montefalco cousins were also in the same place. And Elijah was having his welcome party. And guess what? They are together with his girlfriend. What dah, right? Right there and then, I wanna cry..as in sob and wail!
There’s a lot of changes to Klare and one of those is that she knows how to skate and surf. I know what you’re thinking, haha skater girl. During their vacation, Elijah and Klare were able to talk, on Elijah’s request of course. So yeah, he said he wanted to be her friend. But is there a friend who stares like that? Hmmmm..I smell something fishy really.
Klare for sure is still in love with Elijah, I’m not sure with Elijah but I think he still loves her. So yeah, Klare is still attending any family gathering with the Montefalcos so obviously, she was able to meet Selena, Elijah’s girlfriend. And mind you guys, I really want to pull her hair..haha, bitter much eh?
On a fair side, Selena seems like a nice girl. But dang! Yung mga birit niya te, nakakagigil. Flirt! Haha. OK, I’ll stop right there because I might not be able to finish this review because of my dislike of her character.
It all happened so fast that I don’t know how to elaborate. So I’ll just skip and tell you the juicy part eh? Haha. Well, obviously, Klare and Elijah get back together. And still in secrecy. This is really so frustrating. Well, what’s love without a little hardship eh? But this is not just a “little” hardship, it’s all those little hardships you can have combined. But what’s great this time is that Klare is going to fight her love for Elijah, whether their family will approve or not.
Erin is still Erin, she’s still against Elijah and seems like it’s only Azi and Claudette who approve. Me against the world ang peg eh? Good thing that her two brothers are always so supportive of her, though it’s not yet confirmed that they approve of her relationship with Elijah.
Just as expected, the “face with all Montefalco part two” happened. And this time, Klare fought for Elijah. It’s really a heartbreaking scene for me. I cried. I really did cry not just once but more than once.
I don’t want to elaborate more for it might become a total summary of the story, and I don’t want to spoil you more haha.
For the characters, I really really appreciate the Montefalco cousins. Though I admit that I almost want to poison them all, excluding Claudette and Azi (haha, I’m including him because he’s my favorite of all Montefalco guys haha) because they always blame Klare. Can’t they see Klare’s side?! But in the end, I was really amazed with their love for her. I don’t want to talk about that, just see for yourself eh?
And the Ty brothers…my oh my! I’m never a fan of chinitos but dang! I can’t help but admire these two. You really got to read this book and find out how hot (haha, hot and gwapo chinitos and not just cute) and so adorable these two are.
For Elijah. Dang! Where can I find someone like you? (Singing someone like you by Adele haha) Dang Klare! Haba ng hair mo te. Elijah is still as hot and he loves Klare very very much. Omg! As in omg! Haha. You really need to read this book.
And Mr. Ty, well, he’s probably the father that I would really want to have. He’s so protective yet so understandable including his wife of course.
I really can’t contain myself right now because obviously, I’m so happy with the outcome of their story. And I bet this is harder not to read the third book right NOW. I am really looking forward to it and I really do hope this time, they can finally have their happily ever after.
