Para sa Lahat ng B

Lahat ng BLahat ng B by Ricky Lee
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

2.5 stars — because this is where I can say that I am definitely old, and the ending is lukewarm for me and feels like sir Ricky didn't even make an effort to deviate from the usual metafictional writing.

Here are some notes / questions that I can ask upon the Face-to-face discussion with him and the PRPB folks (finally, I am going back again, never felt more excited after years of suffering in the pandemic & quarantine):

- Pulsated plotline? Did Ricky Lee wrote the sequel because of the reader feedback? Was it a social media pulse, or is him bringing back the heydays from 2008?
- Is page 13 a social commentary on how skillful a writer should be? (view spoiler)
- On page 27 — is unrequited love intentionally placed as a quote? Because I commend on how this was logistically proper in the prose. It seems random, but it tugs at my heartstrings. (view spoiler)
- "Mapagpatawad ang pagmamahal" — is this the central theme of the novel? Because it slightly depicts on how people are really forgiving when it comes to love. We hope that we won't be apologists, though.
- Erica's Arc might be loyal, but feels unneccessary to have other characters as a literary device. It becomes noisy and doesn't contribute to the gap years from Para Kay B.
- How come the end came as a Lukewarm feeling again?
