THAT'S JUST NOT IT
ABOUT THE BOOK
That's Just Not It is a contemporary fiction novella narrated by a young Filipina named Jesse Danielle or JD for short, who recalls her youth and her memories as a child before her mother and her sister migrated abroad while she decided to live with her father in her home country.
A decade after, her sister comes back home to introduce her boyfriend and the past catches up to JD as she reflects on the paths she and her sister have taken. As JD reflects on the life she has so far lived, she comprehends what the real meaning of life is and what makes a person successful. Along the way, she makes realizations about issues of racial discrimination, xenocentrism, and prejudice.
Rather than exploring the ideas of what life is, the existentialist topic of the novella is exploring what life isn't. Rather than describing what happiness looks like, the novella describes what it doesn't look like.
