I recently finished reading The Day She Said Goodnight by Owwsic. I read this after watching this video by AnakNiRizal on her Tales of Demi YouTube channel. I was instantly hooked by the bad boy meets sick girl plot, and it was supported by solid Taglish storytelling.
The novel was memorable not just because of its appealing storyline, but because I was able to empathize with Rome, the male protagonist whose first person POV was moving and direct to the point. The storytelling may have a predictable plot, but Owwsic managed to craft one that was far from cheesy and pitiful through Rome’s POV. I liked it, and it definitely hit me hard.
I learned the following lessons from The Day She Said Goodnight:
Life is too short, so make each moment count
Love makes life more meaningful
Success is best achieved through hard work and healthy collaboration
I highly recommend this book if you like romance novels that will tug your heartstrings while reminding you of the meaning of life.
