Kalau kayak ginian ada di Indonesia kayaknya bakalan jadi bahan julid doang. But actually it was a good idea if it happened in the right environment though 🥹🫶

I never expected a children's book to turn out this dark. God, I can't imagine how awful and terrifying April's life must have been in reality. To discover the truth about her life—and see how she accepted it in the book—is unimaginable. She must have been so strong. If I ever had the chance to meet April, I would hug her tightly and tell her, "You truly deserve the world." :") ♡

I’ve had a good cry many times while reading this children’s book—it’s so emotional! But sometimes, I just want to scream out of frustration with Gem’s attitude. She’s definitely the kind of young girl that would drive every mom crazy—HAHAHA!

This book was so fun! It reminds me a lot of my niece, the ambitious one but sometimes shy around new people. I'm so happy with how Cilla's character developed in this book; she'll definitely be a great big sister. :) I want to give her the warmest hug ever and tell her she'll be fine and loved by everyone around her. It's such an inspiring story from someone so young as Cilla. ❤️

I was already halfway through the book when I realized Jody is a guy... 😭 Honestly, the concept is interesting—it explores how Jody discovers he’s actually gay, which is really compelling. But from the middle to the end, it’s just so underwhelming... 🥲 The conflicts between the characters had already reached their climax, but then there was no proper resolution. The plot twist involving this significant guy, who ends up being the main issue for the protagonist, was also kind of gross. It made reading the rest of the book so frustrating! 😭

Just finished the final book in the *Three-Body Problem* series, and I have to say, it’s hands down the most complex one 😭. It’s not just the story itself—it’s the way it completely wrecked my emotions. I feel so crushed reading about their struggles, sacrifices, and the sheer madness they went through, only for the world to reset to zero. Absolutely mind-blowing, but also incredibly heartbreaking. I’m so SAD right now, but at the same time, I feel completely EMPTY.

The journey was incredibly long, but honestly, I enjoyed it so much :") I learned so much from reading sci-fi like this. It’s like diving into a whole new world with so much depth and knowledge—reading this was a whole experience. If you love sci-fi stories, you have to read this! It’s confusing at times, but WOW, it was SO GOOD.

Finished the second book of the Three-Body Problem series… :") I honestly didn’t expect the storyline to be like this. It’s filled with the ambition of all humanity, each trying to save the world in their own way. So many conflicts, successes, failures… it felt utterly hopeless at times. As a reader, I could deeply feel every emotion poured into this book. It truly embodies the phrase “light will shine even in the darkest times,” or something like that. The main takeaway? Nothing is impossible if you have faith in what you’re doing—HAHA. By the end, I was so moved… :") Sad, but deeply touched!!!

It’s been such an interesting journey reading this, seriously! It’s so excitinh but at the same time, so depressing. I can’t even explain how I feel—like I’m thrilled, but also totally overwhelmed by how heavy it is. There’s a lot of scientific terms that can be a bit confusing, but I genuinely enjoyed the whole story. You really feel the chaos and destruction of humanity on Earth—people who just never learn to be grateful, LOL. 😄😄 But it’s all explained scientifically, which makes it even more fascinating. What’s really cool is how there seem to be three worlds here: the world on Earth, the one in the game, and then this other perspective that can see both worlds at the same time. And the fun part? The game world is actually connected to reality! As I read further, it just got more and more messed up, and now I’m even more curious about what’s going to happen next. It’s such a wild ride! 🥹🤍👍
