Any Day With You by Mae Respicio
4.0
I love how middle-grade novels never fail to fill my heart with warmth. I’m so glad I got to read Any Day With You, because inspite of being a book for young people, it deals with certain incidents that all of us can learn from.
I’ve not read a lot of books from Asian Literature, so I was really looking forward to reading this book, being from Asia myself. Any Day With You showcased a truly beautiful side of Asian culture and how family is such a huge part of our lives. I loved reading about Kaia’s family. The relationship that she shared with her family members, specially with her Tatang (her great-grandfather) made the book such a happy read for me. I was hoping for more scenes with Kaia and her sister Lainey, but it’s fine. It was fascinating to read about the Filipino culture and customs too. 
Kaia was a really lovable main character. I loved how confident she was and how she chose to work hard for expressing her talent. Kaia’s best friends, Abby and Trey added their own charms to the story too. The friendship that they shared was so adorable! Their combined determination to win the film-making contest, inspite of being just seventh graders was really inspiring.
Sometimes you’ve to be apart from people you truly love to be close to them even more , and this book reflected this aspect perfectly.

These are some of my favorite quotes from the book :
