                           Paperback : 367 pages

This novel becomes the reason why I choose to pick a bad boy type than a nice guy. West as the main character of this novel proof something could only occur if you have a bad boy type around.


 Unlike the other novel I've ever read, reading this novel gives me a different sensation, I adore the author because he knows well to put a climax in part of this story, to explain the reason through the related occasion, and to arrange the question and answer in a meaningful moment. I wish I could see this novel being filmed one day. 


I do enjoy reading it, I enjoy to read the ups and downs texas and west build their relationship backstreet, I keen on the way west risk everything to help his family financially, I also agree with his decision not to tell texas about what happened to Aubrey in the first place. 


once again I love the author to make everything for a reason, as like the reason why west love to eat the Apple candy, the tattoo on his arm, texas's grandma reason not to tell other the reason why their house got into the fire, and other (u can found out by yourself)

 

west may be stubborn and already take each girl in the entire university out for a dirty night. (Lol) but who knows he carried a big problem on his own, pay all his parent's debt, had suicidal issues, blame himself for letting his sister passed away, yet he needs girls to spend a night with to make him didn't remember what's happened on his life.


Texas is a good girl with thousands of insecure and unconfidence, she had several scars covering her left face, and in any part of her body. Who will be expected that a girl like her could be the last standing girl for a guy like the west, the one who risks his life every Friday night? 


I've felt terrible at the ending of any novel, and this novel makes the list larger. I understand that the author tried to give us a perfect happy ending since their story contains too many struggles, but please life won't go the same way. There always a moment when we need to stuck on the ground. The ending is too clear and too suspicious. We don't even have time to think about what's will happen afterward, just happy and it is monotonous. 


But overall, I'm sure you guys will enjoy reading this novel. You won't get bored with the story on each page, I even didn't attend to any quotes because they examine moments, not the words. Even if the ending is not what I wanted and it might be you guys wanted.

January, I don’t care how the story ends As long as I spend it with you

Augustus Everett and January Andrew, a couple who born to be together based on their name. Both of them are an author that’s why the phrase on the novel sometimes made me confused because the line which unrelated to this novel often appear in a huge number of The pages. 


And of course, it because the line tells their ongoing novel. It bored me indeed because I felt it didn’t stick to the point and I pretty much hate when it comes to climaxing and they just mentioned lines on their novel as the alibi.


I adore how the author makes the event super clear that I don't need to think hardly to find the answer. I started to cry out loud when January finally decided to open every letter their father has been written since she was born. I even take a second to weep my tears while reading the letter from her father. 


January's father passed away a year ago and left a house near a beach for her. Due to he’d betrayed January’s mother I think he’s not a good father, but roughly January never looked at the other sides of her father. 

He always shows that he’s the perfect father that every child in the world could ask for, till he finally passed away. 

I'd thought missing my dad would be the hardest thing I'd ever do, but the worst thing, the hardest thing, had turned on to be being angry with someone you couldn't fight it out with.

Not only because he was cheating with another woman, but also he had a second house with his mistress WHAT THE…. This case makes his life mess up and sucked.

 

She even breaks up with his boyfriend and couldn’t write even a single word to make a novel, yet she's struggling with finances and couldn’t afford to rent a house and decide to just move on to a house his father left for her and met Augustus Everett a man from her college. 


 I Always mesmerize when both of them pretend not to know each other despite they are at the same university. Secretly, January has known august so well because he well-known as a genius student at that time

She often joins his class and he calls her a fairy (I forgot the line) when he sarcastically commented on his first novel.  She never thought that a guy like him could recognize her because she just an invisible student back then.


 Surprisingly, he didn’t like that. He recognized her. The one who had a perfect life and always makes every novel she wrote become a happy ending as like her life, unlike the novel he usually writes. 


I like the ending of it and wish every novel could have ended the same way. There are no years laters or the next decade of life from them. Just happy for now.


How if we don't get a happy ending?

Then maybe we should enjoy our happiness for now


A super sad movie review: Clouds Disney

You don’t have to find out you’re dying to start living –Zach Sobiech 

I just feel guilty if I can’t at least put how much I adore this movie in a piece of words yet I decide to make this review. I watch this movie twice to make sure that I don’t miss a thing. 


I’m not into this genre actually and I’ve watched Five feet apart without crying even if it just a second. This movie hits different for me. I admitted that I feel bored watching this movie till I finally pick at exactly an hour and 30 minutes to prove that all of my friend's review is extremely right. 

I cried out loud exactly like a baby. Fin argus and Sabrina play like the firm handshake was them. They were so natural.

If you guys have ever watched A star Is born I think this movie will end the same, but differently since Zach has been diagnosed with cancer in the first place. 


Both of these movies have emphasized the power of music to kept the memory alive, song witting, playing the instrument, and going on stage also decorate these two movies, I cried of course when I watched both of them. differently, I just cried a bit at the end of the story from the star is born, started when lady gaga sang I’ll never love again, Yet in clouds, I was sniveling almost from an hour and 30 minutes till the end.

 

I also cried like a baby when I started to goggled the Zach name, type on Spotify then listen to all of his songs with Sammy, I also Cried when I found out the detail of this movie on youtube (P.S Disney official). FOR THE GOD SAKE I even spend my night watching all of the Zach memorial videos on youtube. 


This movie very detailed, I admitted that the director is well-prepared. Every ornament on the movie set “Zach room” actually belongs to him, the clothes are worn by fin argus also his. And how mesmerized I’m when I watched one of the details of this movie and found out that all of the cast and the real person was involved in making this film.

 

They visit the set and give a little advice to the cast about how to be them at that time, the real Zach family, Sammy, and Zach's girlfriend guide the cast to make sure they become themselves. I’m sure that the director or makeup team did very hard to make their face alike. 


GOD, Zach Passed Away in 2013 exactly 7 years ago and I think this movie will bring the memory of Zach born again in every person who knows him.  


IT’S WORTH TO WATCH, I INSIST y'all……………

  

Review:Happy ever after playlist by Abby Jimenez

                    Title         : The Happy Ever After Playlist
                         Author      : Abby Jimenez
                         Publisher : Forever (April 15, 2020)
                        Language  : English
                        Paperback : 401pages

I’m afraid this review will be too personal because I’m not in a good mood to justify the novel, even though I already read exactly three novels after the previous review.  for me, I did a huge mistake in the first place while reading this novel. 


The truth is, this novel is the sequel from the previous novel untitled friend zone and I just realized it had after I watched a YouTube review while I almost finished reading this novel. But I can’t look back to read those novels and left this novel unread till I got the first novel. Then I just decided to go on. 


For someone who adores Hollywood music so bad will feel this novel is the right thing to pick. Because it tells the story of Jaxon water who is a super famous singer with several songs usually stated on Billboard 100. Albums, tours, and an intimated management make this novel crystal clear P, S detail for someone who adores harry style (MEEE) and always beg him to perform on every occasion.


I could guess the ending of this novel since Sloan met Jaxon, it will end like the usual novel as I usually read. But for those who haven’t been read this novel yet, you need to read this because it will amaze you. Despite this novel tells from both two perspectives that are Sloan and Jaxon but you won’t even guess what they will readily do directly.


Several unexpected things occurred without you could ever imagine it will. The writer unconditionally flies me to the sky, then directly drag me down the ground. As like when Sloan visits Jaxon on tour and found a woman on his bed and left him because of it, Jaxon being drunk and didn’t know what’s happening to him on his bed. Of course, he looked for Sloan in every possible place she could ever visit, but he can’t found her anywhere. And after hours Sloan finally gets back to the hotel to say an apology to him and realized that Jaxon is not someone like that, but Jaxon just told lies about a woman who slept and said all things she watched is true. I couldn’t even think of what he meant at that time. Till I finally do when it comes to the next chapter that he can’t protect Sloan from everything and everyone who will harm her if they still in a relationship.


He realized that everything happens to Sloan because of him, because of his fans, his management, his super crazy that he couldn’t even text hear in weeks. Then he better keeps a distance from her then. 


My eyes didn’t catch interesting quotes from this novel, but this novel is worth to read, u will feel the different side of a super famous singer you might be adored and realized how crazy work he needs to finish In serving a full album and attend tours in a different city around the world without even know the name of it. To know the detail just figuring out for yourself. 

A Review : the Lgbt Novel Call me by your name by André Aciman

November 04, 2020 0 Comments

 

My first ever LGBT novel I've read till the last page. It accompanied me from the crazy piled of tasks during my deadline till I finally home still doing the same tasks. I spent 14 days to finish this novel, it's quite longer than I usually did. It's because I don't even think to read this genre after unfinished reading from reading and blue royal wedding weeks ago. 

This novel is like poetry for me, the author leads the reader to also feel Italian summer and the beach over there. I feel like I was there on the rock, sand, or even work out with them every morning. I feel like I was with Elio when he's transcribing the manuscript, also with them when they are making love, etc. 

It tells from both Oliver and Elio's perspective which is good because the two of them are of different ages. 

I knew from the start that Elio's father knows there's something different about them, but he just keeps silent and gives them live on their life without even ask what'd happened. In another eight years, I'll be forty-seven 

and you forty. Five years from then, I'll be fifty-two and you forty-five. Will you come for dinner then?" 

They've expected this case will occur from the first. They just a man and a boy who impossibly stick together, besides their gap eight are far enough, they also the same gender and doing back street. 

The word later becomes familiar to me since reading this novel. They keep saying later than goodbye. I think everyone could be Elioinn their childhood, but the case may not the same because they won't make love to one another.

 The case mostly like this everyone has experienced having someone around to take care of them till it finally ends because they should make their own family (p.s get married and have children) and let us just continue for ourselves it hurts sometimes, but it's life.

You could have had this instead. But going back is false. Moving ahead is false. Looking the other way is false. Trying to redress all that is false turns out to be just as false. "

Like figuring out that they won't ever be together. The word calls me by your name first appear when they first time sleeps together and whisper to call their name to mention another name.

 They met again after 10 years and still have the same feeling even though Oliver had had two children and teased Elio to just choose his daughter than himself.

 The last words from this novel are

 if you are like me, then before you leave tomorrow, or when you're just ready to shut the door of the taxi and have already said goodbye to everyone else and there's not a thing left to say in this life, then, just this once, Turn to me, even  In jest, or as an afterthought, which would have meant everything to me when we were together, and, as you did back then, look me in the face, hold my gaze and call me by your name
