PENAKA takes on the most unique perspectives on how to navigate a young marriage life. Building a family tears by tears.
But WHAT IF.... Something happened and you woke up as a...bottle water? This pinch of fantasy intrigued me so much and now I get all those well deserved hype!!!!
PENAKA is a roller coaster ride filled with self actualisation, sacrifices, and compromise. It's raw, sharp, and lovely. Salted with generational trauma, it revolved around how family works. It captured perfectly how frantic a mother's love is. How hard a father has to work. How parents were children once. The imperfection of it all matters.
A super fresh premise deliciously well executed. It made me clenched my teeth, giggling, blushing, and teary eyed. It played with my emotion. I LITERALLY COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN. Modern and super relatable. I can picture them perfectly as the couple next door.
Seamlessly woven plot, super page turner, realistic flawed characters, Penaka is definitely my best read on September 💗💗💗 I LOVE IT!!!!
