My rating: 4 of 5 stars
As always, Kinsella selalu berhasil memenangkan tempat dihati saya. always love her books, always be her biggest fan.
Kisah diawali dgn Poppy yg kehilangan cincin pertunangannya, dan dari sana kisah bergulir dengan manis dan alurnya yg cukup cepat. banyak sekali kejadian2 tak terduga yang telah disiapkan penulis untuk para pembacanya dan saya harus mengacungkan jempol untuk plot dan gaya bertutur Kinsella yang khas.
Percakapan, bahkan pemikiran si karakter utama sering 'kena' banget, spt saat Poppy kehilangan handphonenya dan bgimana dia panik:
" what do i do without my phone? how do i function?.."
"my phone is my people. it's my friend. it's my family. it's my work. it's my world. it's everything. i feel like someone's wrenched my life support system away from me."
Saya ngaku saya terbahak2 membacanya. Lebay? Ember! Tapi sptnya itu yg saya jg bakal rasakan klo khilangan handphone. Panik dan gak rasional.
Anyway, spt halnya tokoh2 di novel Kinsella, si karakter utama (si gadis) adalah cewek biasa, gak ngerasa istimewa, baik hati, dan gak nyadar klo dia cantik. Sementara cowoknya ganteng, sukses di karir, happen to be available, dan jatuh cinta pd si gadis 'biasa'. Well, what's NOT to like from that? Afterall, that's the point of this genre, right? To make us believe in the fantasy & hope it will come true in our life. ya kaaann...?
So, to sum it up, I love this book and will surely read another book written by her. Yay, Kinsella! Good job :) many kudos for you..
