Afternoons that Tasted like Love in Manila
by Michelle Ayon Navajas â Amazon Best Seller
Review by Joni Caggiano
While exploring this latest book, I found myself caught up in my own story. As I read on, I found myself rereading each page and realizing that the style produced vivid imagery that stirred all our senses. This prose could belong to any place in the world where one finds love.
Drawn into each paragraph, I was reawakening memories of my first love. Most of us fall in love at some point in life, and I saw myself in each fresh passage, each new section. The intensity of everything standing still or fading into the background, the aching desire for even the slightest show of affection.

Robbie, I still thing you should sell your amazing Holiday houses (made with real dough) to Costco. Seriously, you could donate the money to charities, you are just so talented. They still only have a Christmas one I think. There is not a Costco here out in the sticks where we live now, but I bet they would love it. Big hugs to you and the family and blessings.
A wonderful review for Mich’s beautiful book Joni.

It’s heartwarming to read your wonderful review, Joni! đđ
Timothy, bless you for reading. Nothing breaks the heart like that first love if it doesn’t work out, but there is always a reason. Eventually we can see that life once again has a new season too. Big hugs and lots of blessing for the family.

A stellar review of Michelle’s new book. Your reviews are always in-depth and thoughtful, Joni. I’m hoping to get my hands on a copy soon. âşď¸
Dearest Mike, Thank you so much my dear friend. Reviews are not easy for me to write. I have to take notes not because the book is memorable which this one certainly is, but because my memory is not what it use to be. This was cathartic for me in a beautiful way. Thank you so much for your kind response, Mike. I appreciate it. It tugs at the heartstrings but in the end we all learn lessons and protect ourselves and eventually move on. The book ends in a beautiful victory for the writer’s self-esteem and she doesn’t grow embittered, instead she feels grace. Big hugs and love from both of us.
Wonderful, dear Jodi. Mich has done it again. Amazing! I too love the book so much.
Hello, dearest Selma, yes she did, didn’t she. I had a feeling that this one was going to really touch my heart and it did not disappoint. I am delighted you liked the review and thank you so much for your kind comment, my friend. I am so glad to hear that you enjoyed the book as much as me. YEA â¤ď¸đâ¤ď¸
