Derived from the title of the story, Getting Better is like a step-by-step instructional guide for people who discovered their partner cheating. The author of the story is a filipino and a writer in a magazine, so you would expect that the story feels like you are reading a magazine that features a guide on how you will face life after breaking up with the one you love and start to get better! haha! For me, Getting Better is a combination of drama, comedy, suspense, romance and a bit of SEX to spice things up in the story. Though, it shows the western and different side of young adult filipinos, everyone in the class can easily understand and relate to what is happening in the story. Maybe, the PHILIT class enjoys stories that has SEX in it, well it's just my opinion. nyehaaha!
The story is about a woman named karen, the girlfriend of miko that will cheat later on. I think the story took place in an urban area like makati, or manila because of the atmosphere the story suggests. The characters acts like they aren't filipinos at all because most
of the time filipinos are described as conservative and simple persons. The attitude of the characters in the story is the reason why I think the author is quite influenced by western countries. Maybe it is also possible that the author is watching too much sex and violence
that's why the story shows sexual activity between a man and woman and why the story feels like it is very normal in the society to say things about *toot*, *toot* and *toot*.
I like this story, not because of sex, but because of how the author was able to establish a different way of telling a story about a person's recovery after discovering that his partner is cheating on him/her. Also, the story has a bit humor in it to balance things and prevent the story to become serious and boring. The author for me used "sex + humor + drama" as an effective style to keep the readers interested.
