Jesse possesses this unique ability of persuasion which I don't actually understand. I mean, how does he get things done? Cos I think if you're good at persuading other people to do things for you, you must have superb interpersonal skills which Jesse doesn't actually have. Does he know hypnotize people a lá budol-budol gang? Cos if it's just blackmail, I don't think he has the 411 on everyone. So he's a good manipulator, btu how does he actually do it? That aspect I don't really get but sige, okay, he gets things done, ano man ang pamamaraan niya.
Ken pays Jesse to get Bridget to date him. Jesse does the background research for Ken but in the process finds himself falling for the girl. And the girl likes him, too. My kind of story. Haha.
But it's not only Ken who is in the way. Jesse thinks he is not good for Bridget. He feels someone much better deserves to get the girl. Of course there's also that factor that he has built walls, that he doesn't want to become vulnerable and allow to feel emotions, in his case- loving Bridget, cos that would mean to let let his guard down. But we all know that the walls have cracked when he let Pete in.
The only thing Lola Prude (that's me!) doesn't approve of is Jesse peddling drugs and I feel that's much worse than being a user because by peddling drugs, he is responsible for destroying the lives of those he peddles to. At ngayon ko lang narealize that that part of Jesse, Bridget still doesn't know of.
I liked the book although I found it a bit slow. Four stars ☺
