review 1: I am sad to report that I’m stamping Marla Miniano’s Table for Two with a “You tried” golden star. It was supposed to be promising, telling five different forms of love all set in an obscure café hidden between a Korean grocery shop and something else unremarkable even I can’t remember it. I was expecting all of the stories, or characters, to come together mala-Jologs the film style, but surprise (or non-surprise), there was none. And as if that weren’t enough already, I also had to endure Miniano’s pa-profound running sentences, which all got old really quick. Maybe that’s just my bias on straight-up talky talk that’s talking, but the melancholy she injected in the writing was just too much.
review 2: The book was kinda a compilation of shor... moret stories where everybody somewhat ends up in the not-so-famous cafe, and all their paths intersect. The book is a mix of stories about breaking up, taking your time, letting go, judging others not realizing your own relationship has problems, closures, and waiting for the right person. The ending was cute when the heartbroken people ended up with each other. What made me like this book more was the fact that it showed all sides of love stories--deciding to break up, waiting for the right person, getting tired of not getting over someone, being lax in a relationship and not noticing its not working..- and not just your usual happy ending, Romeo-Juliet (or maybe not that because both R&J ended up dying), happily ever after fairytale story. I, for one can relate to some of the characters..hehe.. less
