Worship the Body is a Filipino classic from Alvin Yapan that is now translated to English.

In this masterpiece, we follow four individuals Jun, Ria, Jaime, and Maya as they navigate their own lives and how it gets entangled as they come face to face with truth about power, emotion, and their own complicated history.

This is a novel that explores both the beauty and the dark side of modern relationships and how these connections intersect with the complex and ever-changing timelines of the four individuals.

I liked how the storyline worked well given that the characters’ voices narrated different versions of stories - a mixture of slice of life in contemporary Manila, magical realism, and personal history.

This is a book about four normal people trying to live their lives (and this is a book featuring four individuals with their layers of truth and lies)

Four people. Four stories. Four interconnected secrets and narratives.

Thank you Penguin Random House SEA for sending me an ARC in exchange of review and post!
