“First of all, I just want to say thank you, Kuya, for sharing your story with us. Reading your book made me realize a lot of things, especially about love, courage, and knowing what truly matters. What really amazed me was how you fought for the person you loved. Even when everything seemed to be telling you to stop, and even when it was slowly hurting you, you still chose to love wholeheartedly. That kind of courage isn’t easy to have, and I truly admired it. And I really loved how the story ended. Your story felt genuine and relatable. It made me smile, reflect, and even feel emotional at times. It reminded me that love isn’t always about happy ending and sometimes it’s about the lessons we learn, the sacrifices we make, and the strength we discover within ourselves. Thank you for being brave enough to tell your story. I know it wasn’t easy, but I’m glad you did because I’m sure many readers, including me, learned something from it. Congratulations on your book, Kuya. I’m looking forward to reading more of your work in the future.”

“I came for a heartbreak story, but I stayed for the healing. This book doesn’t teach you how to get someone back—it teaches you how to stop losing yourself. Quietly unforgettable.”

“Distances We Called is a heartfelt reflection on love, loss, healing, and the quiet courage to begin again. Every page feels deeply personal, yet its message resonates with anyone who has loved, lost, and found the strength to move forward. What makes this book truly special is the author’s vulnerability. Through honest and heartfelt storytelling, he reminds us that love given to the wrong person is never wasted—it becomes a lesson that leads to growth, self-discovery, and ultimately, self-love. The contrast between a whirlwind romance and the slow, intentional journey of healing is beautifully portrayed, offering hope that restoration always follows heartbreak. The author’s writing is sincere, poetic, and authentic, leaving a lasting impression long after the final page. Kudos to the author for courageously sharing a piece of himself with his readers. I look forward to reading more of his works. Distances We Called is a beautiful reminder that while some distances separate us from others, they often bring us closer to ourselves.”

“I’m not really into reading books because seeing a page full of text usually makes me lose interest. It feels overwhelming, and I rarely want to keep reading. But this book is different. It’s engaging, easy to follow, and kept me interested from page to page. What I loved most was the story itself. It was beautifully written, emotionally engaging, and full of moments that made me want to keep reading to find out what would happen next. The characters felt real, and the plot was both meaningful and captivating without ever feeling complicated. I highly recommend this book, especially for those who consider themselves “lazy readers” or anyone who struggles to get into books. It’s the kind of story that reminds you why reading can be so enjoyable.”

“Distances We Call Love is a heartfelt book that explores how love can survive despite distance, time, and life’s challenges. It reminds readers that genuine love is built on trust, patience, communication, and understanding—not just physical closeness. The stories and reflections are relatable, emotional, and comforting, especially for anyone who has experienced long-distance relationships or being apart from someone they care about. Overall, it’s a touching and inspiring read that shows love is measured not by miles, but by the strength of two hearts willing to stay connected.”

“This book made me look back on a time when I was in the same shoes. 🥹 I liked the rollercoaster of emotions it took me through while reading, but most of all, I admired how the story ended gracefully. Somehow, I found this book comforting. Thumbs up! May this be just the start of many more stories to write. ✨”
