shealea 's review for:

Your Place Next Year by Mina V. Esguerra
4.0

Set in a Philippines still recovering from COVID-19, Your Place Next Year tells a quiet, low-key romance between two tired, disillusioned adults - with one finding peace in the beautiful beaches of La Union and with one reevaluating their idea of success outside the capitalist framework of the corporate world.

Short and sweet (with slight steam), this novella delivered what it set out to do - and sometimes, that's enough.
