Midsummer

Midsummer by Manuel Arguilla

                While reading Midsummer, I had the constant urge to drink ice cold water. The author made it seem like it was intensely scorching out there in the story. I personally found this story to be one of those kilig moments wherein there is growing tension between two characters and things start to get awkward once they actually meet, then the characters actually end up happily together. It’s a typical love story in Ilocano style – words like Ading were used frequently enough in the family to make me realize that the story was set in the North. No matter how cheesily romantic the story got, I was never able to forget about the scorching heat.
