Learn a lesson from the past and don't tell your friends (except Janice who's a big fan of Bert that you thought she'd appreciate the news), or your family, that you are, once again, for the second time in less than a year and a half, engaged.
"I do?!"
After a traumatic engagement to a man who eventually cheated on her, 28-year-old Karen is, once again, committed - this time to a seemingly perfect guy named Bert Reyno. And their year-old relationship rocks: she finds him funny and sweet, he thinks she's amusing and sexy, the conversation is satisfying and the sex is great... so why not get married?
But the ghosts or relationships past keep coming back to haunt her and suddenly, Bert seems to good to be true. Determined to spare herself from future heartbreak, Karen goes on a soul-searching trip, only to find herself buried in even more doubts: Is she ready to grow old and wrinkly with Bert? What about all the other hot guys? And is Bert like every other cheating male?
Will she ever learn to completely love and trust someone again - without thinking the whole thing is just a Wow, Mali! scam?
Written by Tara FT Sering, Summit Books editor and multi-awarded writer, Almost Married is the sequel to the free novel in Cosmopolitan Philippines in 2003, Getting Better.
