This book is suitable for Cassiopeia (its fans name), teen lit novel lovers, and fan-fiction ‘addict’. Because this novel brought from a fan-fiction made by author.

How a great happy ending! The good organization in writing the plot and the beautiful cover made by Dianing Ratri, this novel reach third release in August 2011. This successful novel isn’t out from its strength. Encouraged by the light and simple contents. And there are some foreign language (because this novel is Indonesian language novel) as English and Korean used. The Korean words used here in Roman alphabet with its mean are gimmick to the novel. The author uses the usual language in this novel that she believes so the readers will get easy to get the meaning. But it doesn’t decrease the quality of the novel. The author gives flashback plot and third point of view in this novel. Although the author writes with usual words or language but she designs her story with some good ingredients so the readers will always wonder ‘how it can be?’ But, there are also weaknesses between the strength. The weakness of this novel is about the author that chooses the proper words [Bahasa : Diksi]. Because in some words the author better to consider the better words. Also the fragments of some words or sentences that break The Indonesian Language Structure. And the location of quotations marks better to take care, in which condition it use in some words and sentences. This novel is suitable to readers in all ages but it’s better for people of the age of 12 till 25. And this story is just for fun and entertain for all people who read it.
