Review singkat :)

Cewek!!! adalah buku kedua dari Esti Kinasih yang kubaca setelah Fairish. Jujur saja, aku masih lebih menikmati Fairish daripada kisahnya Langen CS ini. Bukunya memang seru tapi unsur lebay didalamnya itu agak terlalu. Aku pun gak begitu suka dengan cara para cewek ini menyuarakan emansipasinya. Kisahnya sendiri cukup simpel. Ketiga cewek ini, Langen, Fani dan Feby tidak terima jika pacar-pacar mereka mengorbankan malam minggu yang seharusnya dihabiskan bersama malah digunakan untuk latihan naik gunung. well, kecuali Fani karena memang dia terpaksa berpacaran dengan Bima yang suka seenaknya itu.

(Monthly) April Book Haul.

Hello, again! I haven't review anything in a while because my laptop got hospitalized (laughs) and it took so long to be repaired :( I improved my reading last month, and I'm satisfied with that. This month is the total opposite, though. I guess, I got a reading slump, I haven't even finished The Scorch Trials and got stuck at 36%. I tried to read manga but alas, it still don't work. Maybe I'm just tired since real life's kinda hectic right now and it's stressed me out.
