BOOK REVIEW OF

“LO SIENTO TE AMO”

Title: Lo Siento Te Amo


Author: Binibining Mia
Genre: Historical Fiction and Romance Novel

In the story, Lo Siento Te Amo Agnes Romero was arranged marriage


to Alfredo Salazar, a man who hates her family to death because of her
grandfather’s actions when it was still alive. Agnes is in vain as she
discovered her husband’s secret affair. Following an accident that change
their whole life. Agnes together with her driver and her personal maid was
ambushed as they tried to help the first victim of the incident. Someone
witnessed the ambush and rescued Agnes. Agnes was then adopted, by the
quack doctor and his son. However, they changed Agnes’ life to Liliana’s ---
the daughter of the quack doctor who died from the incident that Agnes
encountered. When Agnes woke up, she can’t remember anything. She was
kept as Liliana. It changed everyone’s life as they thought, Agnes died.
Years later, things started to turn back. It was when destiny made Agnes
met the characters from her past life. This also enables her memory to
return little by little. Things get complicated as well as Agnes and Alfredo’s
love story. Agnes and Alfredo reconciled despite the challenges they
encountered but fate is not on their side. Alfredo died because of his
father’s actions while Liliana continues to live however, she inherited her
mother’s disease that eventually has no cure.
This book is very beautiful. Here you can understand how destiny can
be playful sometimes. You can be happy but eventually you will encounter
challenges that might hurt you. Just like Agnes in this story, she was
happy to marry her long-time one-sided affection but then as mentioned,
only one-sided since Alfredo can’t give him the same feeling. However, as
the plot twist started to show up, Alfredo started to generate feelings to
Agnes, denying it at first. I thought it was on the end part as Agnes died on
an ambush after having a fight with Alfredo. Alfredo then started to blame
his own self, full of regrets as he can’t deny the feelings he now has to
Agnes. While Agnes lives as Liliana, Alfredo was grieving. Fate continues to
play. Then an instant event made them met again. It was heart-breaking
that Agnes can’t remember anything. However, Alfredo is persistent. He
never gave up and find information to support his claim that Liliana is
Agnes, her wife. This was the best plot above all the author’s book. This
story is full of challenges but despite this all, if you really love someone you
will do everything, you will take risk and sacrifice if needed.
Just like on real-life situations, love is dangerous but worth the risk.
Love is like making a bet, you are not sure if you will win or not but, in the
process, you will find joy. This story taught me to be much more realistic,
hopeful and not to easily trust someone. Not because someone showed you
good qualities, they are actually kind and true. They are maybe taking you
for granted or has planned intentions in you or to your family. Anyone can
be good however they will change. Eventually, people change after a heart-
breaking event. There is always a reason behind one man’s personality. We
just need to be careful on trusting someone.
Generally, this story is worth to be recommended. This is a story of a
strong woman. This story has a good plot. Upon reading you can be happy,
sad, thrilled, angry, mad, etc. You’ll make different emotions depending on
how you understand the situation. But one thing is for sure, you will learn
something in this story. If only given the chance to decide for this story, I
would like to make this a movie, surely, it will be a big catch for the
director, writer and to the whole team.
