So what comprises of three words and eight letters you would
say with all your heart to someone who had changed your world and you’d like to
be with for the rest of your life? Go figure!
Three Words Eight Letters Say it and I’m Yours is Chanel
Courtney Clemente Chua and Kean Patrick Tolentino Padua’s roller coaster love
story with exciting twists and turns of fate. Yep, it’s another Pop Fiction by
Summit Books book in English and like the rest was a page turner for me. I
started reading late afternoon but I stayed up late just to finish the book. I was
trying to check how many chapters it was condensed into when I accidentally
read the epilogue. So Kean died? That was heartbreaking. I had just finished
reading about 1/3 of the book and I realizing that it’s going to be a heart
breaker like She’s Dating the Gangster (where both lovers died), I feel appalled
yet I continued reading anyway.
Book 2
But something compelled me to Google it and lo! There is a
book 2 and it didn’t end with Kean’s supposed death. Whoa! What a relief! In
Wattpad, book 1 had already been stripped off contents by the author since the
novel is now published and copyrighted by a publishing company but I was lucky
enough to have the opportunity to read book 2 which is still available on the
site. It’s called Three Words Eight Letters If I Say it Am I Yours? It took me
a whole day to read all its chapters (including special and private chapters) but
it was worth the sacrifice. I’m even luckier because unlike loyal 3W8L fans who
had been diligently waiting for updates since the beginning (2011) and took
months to two years to complete, I had the benefit of reading everything in one
sitting. :D It’s painstakingly long compared to the published book 1’s English
translated, edited, and condensed version but like I said, it was worth the
hours spent squinting infront of the computer reading.
The twists and turns may be a bit soap opera-ish but I love
how it was still Kean till the end despite all other guys who had been part of
Chanel or Elle’s life. Although it’s quite unfair since Kean or Yohann or C.H. had
Courtney alone while she had other guys to her knees but hey, what a lucky girl!
Her name had been tagged together with the other guy’s name including Gianels,
Patrelle, Branded Lovers but it’s Coureans (Courtney and Kean) for me forever!
Extras
Like other Summit Books published local novels, there’s a
playlist after the epilogue. Check out other books from the same publishing
house too. Several titles are listed at the last pages after the credits. Make
sure to search for the actual videos (through YouTube) of the original
compositions used on the book too. They were composed by the author Jade Pitogo.
Imitations
This local novel had touched the hearts of millions and had
been the subject of imitation. I’ve seen novels within Wattpad boring the exact
same title! I wished they had been a little more original in copying (if that’s
even possible) by at least changing up the title a little bit, by even a teeny
tiny bit.
Anyway, have you figured out what three words, eight letters
meant? It means I love you!!!
