Review: Forbidden

Gambar
She is pretty and talented - sweet sixteen and never been kissed. He is seventeen; gorgeous and on the brink of a bright future. And now they have fallen in love. But... they are brother and sister. Seventeen-year-old Lochan and sixteen-year-old Maya have always felt more like friends than siblings. Together they have stepped in for their alcoholic, wayward mother to take care of their three younger siblings. As defacto parents to the little ones, Lochan and Maya have had to grow up fast. And the stress of their lives—and the way they understand each other so completely—has also brought them closer than two siblings would ordinarily be. So close, in fact, that they have fallen in love. Their clandestine romance quickly blooms into deep, desperate love. They know their relationship is wrong and cannot possibly continue. And yet, they cannot stop what feels so incredibly right. As the novel careens toward an explosive and shocking finale, only one thing is certain: a lov...

Review: Can You Keep a Secret?

Can You Keep a Secret? by Sophie Kinsella My rating: 5 of 5 stars So i have known for a long time that Sophie Kinsella is one of popular authors. I often see her books but i haven't really want to read them. I don't know. Maybe because she write book with 'chicklit' genre and i never read that genre so i don't put interest with her books. Now, after reading this book, i don't really understand what the different betweet chicklit and contemporary romance. No idea. Anyone can explain to me? Anyway, I looooveeee this book. I'm searching for humor and funny romance book in goodreads, and I always see this book on the top list. I never read Kinsella's books but my GR friends's review of her books are positive, and i check the blurb and i feel like... 'it's okay, i will give it a try' and i read it. Now I know why this book is put on the top list. This book is really hilarious, funny, light, i smile a lot, then i als...

Review: Making Faces

Gambar
Making Faces by Amy Harmon My rating: 4 of 5 stars SPOILER IN SOME PARTS BUT I FORGET WHERE. to be honest, i think i took a wrong book for my currently emotional state. Yes, i have my own problem and this book is really full of upside down parts. i didn't expect that the story would bring so much emotions. I didn't think that there were so much heartbreaking in the story, and this book overwhelmed me in most of parts. The first maybe we would see about someone who fell in love with a boy with so much charm. Some cute parts at first and i myself thought the story would keep light until the end. However, the story was getting dark and i cried a lot. i found some of turning point in this book. And they were always depressed me. in the first turning point, it felt time passed so long until that tragedy. In one part we felt the senior high school. Full of students, party, drink, etc. Fun. But on the next part, we would face the reality, abo...

Review: The Quirky Tale of April Hale

The Quirky Tale of April Hale by Cathy Octo My rating: 5 of 5 stars Awww this book... Aku biasanya tidak membaca buku dari wattpad. Kalaupun aku membaca buku disana, biasanya karena aku memang penggemar berat penulisnya (mis: Colleen Hoover), yang lain? Enggak. Mmmm... belum ada yang selesai sih. Biasanya kalau bacapun itu karena untuk feedback story, jadi ya bukan sebagai penikmat jatuhnya. Anyway, i didnt get this book directly from wattpad list. Aku dapetnya dari goodreads, satu-satunya referensi terbaik sampai saat ini. Entah karena apa dan bagaimana suatu hari aku mendapati kalau sinopsisnya menarik dan rating buku ini juga cukup bagus, dan jatuhlah buku ini ke daftar TBRku. Kemarin aku lagi butuh banget bacaan dan finally, i chose this book! Dan buku ini, aku sama sekali nggak ngeh kalau buku ini dari wattpad. Beruntungnya cerita ini masih diposting di wattpad, so... lucky me! Detik pertama aku baca cerita ini, satu chapter, and i couldn'...

Review: The Year We Fell Down

Gambar
The Year We Fell Down by Sarina Bowen My rating: 4 of 5 stars I think the first one i need to check before read a book is the synopsis (right! usually i only focus in rating). No matter how many people like a book, when i know that the plot is not my type then i will still not like the book. Anyway, i finally take this book to read first because the synopsis. Second the review, then i finally look the rating.. And i likeee it. The synopsis here tell me what i search from novel lately and i got it. Even not all parts of this book are my favorite, but i still like the story. I especially like Corey character. She has kind of unrequited love to her friend and this friend has a girlfriend, so you can guess that she cannot reveal her feeling. Corey tried hard to forget her feeling, and it's not an easy job. She still behaved like a friend to Hartley but secretly she tried to go away from him. The way she tried hard for that make me sad, but i al...

Review: Éclair: Pagi Terakhir di Rusia

Éclair: Pagi Terakhir di Rusia by Prisca Primasari My rating: 5 of 5 stars Mungkin novel ini bukan favoritku. Tapi kalau aku disuruh merekomendasikan satu novel, aku akan menyerahkan novel ini dengan senang hati. Sebenarnya cerita di Novel ini adalah cerita yang mengharu-biru, bahkan terbilang bahagia di akhirnya. Karena misi atau tujuan awal cerita tercapai. Yaitu bagaimana kelima sahabat yang sudah terpisah dan terpecah-pecah akhirnya disatukan kembali. Oh... itu bukan perjalanan yang mudah, apalagi dengan banyaknya selipan kisah masa lalu di beberapa bagian, membuat cerita ini menjadi lebih menyedihkan. Sejujurnya, sejak awal aku membaca review buku ini untuk mencari tahu kenapa novel ini cukup disukai, aku tetap tidak mengerti apa maksud review-review tersebut. Saat itu aku hanya merasa bahwa jika aku menemukan buku ini, aku akan langsung membacanya. Karena kebanyakan orang mengatakan novel ini bagus, sehingga aku jadi begitu ingin mencicipi buku dari Prisc...

Review: Archer's Voice

Archer's Voice by Mia Sheridan My rating: 5 of 5 stars I actually intended to finish this book right before New Year, but it failed. I just finished it last night anyway. ------------------------------- So, here my review for the first book I read in 2017. I was so so sooo lucky!! How come I found this book? What did I consider to take this book from my tbr instead another book? No idea. I actually was just pure lucky. Because whaatt? This book is incredibly good XD I finally find another story with good twisted, good conflict, good character, and good plot of course. And it is a perfect packaging! When I read this book, a little while I remembered CoHo's book titled "Maybe Someday", about a man who lost his voice, and a woman who fall in love with this kind of guy. Of course it's different, I just thought about it because it brings the same conflict anyway.

Review: November 9

Gambar
November 9 by Colleen Hoover My rating: 5 of 5 stars I have my own reading schedule; it is before I sleep at night. I usually do that, except when I read this book. I think this book screw my entire schedules; because when I read this I forget all things I should do in that day. I don't know if it's a good addictive for me. I really enjoy reading it, but it also makes me feel like there is so much time I waste because I read this book. I have so many hobbies I do recently, and it's not about reading book. I take this book randomly, but I cannot stop when I start to read it. That it is. Colleen Hoover's strength that always make me fall in love with her works more and more. I never know how come Hoover always makes me this way when I read her book. I never bored, and I keep forgetting the world around me. I enjoyed her books so much, I cry, and I'm so happy too when I read her book. I don't know why she always make story like this?...

Review: Too Late

Gambar
Too Late by Colleen Hoover My rating: 3 of 5 stars I hate this. I hate that I should know what Asa thought about Sloan and Carter/Luke, every time. I hate that I knew how much he loved Sloan, but then I hate his behavior: cheat, drug, rough, possessive (it should be good thing, but when Asa had that, it’s scary). Maybe the most part I hate from this book was because I should be put in Asa position, his POV, and I knew about his suffer, urge, needs. It’s getting hard for me to get into this book because I knew so much about Asa, and what made him like this. So, it’s not because this book was bad that I didn’t put full stars, I mean , there was people out there would like this book so much, surely, but every time I know more about Asa, it took more my sympathize instead admitted that he was a jerk, asshole, bastard, that he did a crime, but he also genius… shit.

The Prize

Synopsis:  Librarian's Note: Alternate cover for this ISBN can be found  here . In the resplendence of William the Conqueror's London court, the lovely Saxon captive Lady Nicholaa was forced to choose a husband from the assembled Norman nobles. She chose Royce, a baron warrior whose fierce demeanor could not conceal his chivalrous and tender heart. A resourceful, rebellious and utterly naive, Nicholaa vowed to bend Royce to her will despite the whirlwind of feelings he aroused in her. Ferocious in battle, seasoned in passion, Royce was surprised by the depth of his emotion whenever he caressed his charming bride. In a climate of utmost treachery, where Saxons still intrigued against their Norman invaders, Royce and Nicholaa revelled in their precious new love ... a fervent bond soon to be disrupted by the call of blood, kin and country!   My Review: I like character of nicholaa. She was stubborn and very easily upset, but she's also very easy to forgive. So, there...

Review "A Thousand Boy Kisses"

Gambar
A Thousand Boy Kisses by Tillie Cole My rating: 4 of 5 stars Novel ini bakin nangis, kejer. (view spoiler) [ Biasanya aku mau baca novel itu kan pertama tergantung endingnya ya. Kalo endingnya sad aku nggak mau baca. Sekeren apapun ceritanya, se sweet, se romantis apapun ceritanya, kalo akhirnya sad ending berarti bersenang-senang dahulu bersedih kemudian. Anyway, aku lebih suka yang kebalikannya. Lebih suka sakit-sakit di awal tapi akhirnya bahagia. Yo! Novel ini nggak sad ending. Emm.. happy ending sih, tapi kelihatannya otakku agak sulit menerima. Mungkin karena novel ini sendiri kuanggap selesai ketika si Poppy meninggal. Walaupun ia menunggu di surga, tapi karena logika dari surga sendiri sampai saat ini masih sulit kuterima, jadi memahami bahwa Poppy menunggu disana dan menunggu Rune tinggal bersamanya selamanya itu agak... well, nggak terlalu real. Jadi, ending yang dimaksudkan happy ending terasanya seperti sebuah mimpi saja. Mimpinya Rune setelah bert...
