I was curious about this book, as I'd never really read a book set in Indonesia and certainly not one written by an Indonesian. It's a fun little YA romance that gets a little bit like a soap opera, but I liked it enough. I'll call it a pick, only because I'm rounding up. #LitsyReadingChallenge #LitsyRC15: Translated

BethFishReads This is totally new to me. I'll see if my library has a copy 8y
Sarahreadstoomuch @BethFishReads it's pubbed by Amazon Crossing, so my guess is that if they have it - it's an ebook. I found it as an 'Amazon First' book. 8y
BethFishReads Ohhh I tend not to pay attention to those. Maybe I should 8y
Sarahreadstoomuch @BethFishReads same - I usually ignore those emails. This one was recent, maybe you can still get it? 8y
BethFishReads I just saw it still in my inbox 😊 8y

This took a little while because all conversation is within the narrative paragraphs instead of split out with quotation marks, making it a little difficult to follow sometimes. The characters were very well developed and this was an interesting story. I've already picked up another book by the author. So happy to discover this as my #SouthAmericanAuthor for #ReadHarder2017 and #TranslatedFromAnotherLanguage #LitsyRC15 #LitsyChallenge2017

AWahle I noticed a typo in the picture when I posted before and I had to fix it... That's what I get for posting past bedtime. 8y

Lauredhel @ReadingEnvy I think I have to let it marinate for a while, and wonder if it lost a little for me in either translation or lack of context. I get it (i think), I was just left a little cold, and unsatisfied. But not in a terrible way. 8y
LeslieO And you haven't even used the free space yet! 8y
ReadingEnvy @Lauredhel Yes I would have liked more tying up of storylines I think, or a shift in how it was told. 8y
Natasha.C.Barnes Whoa! #bingo alert! 8y
Lauredhel @LeslieO I've decided to read a book for the Free Space :) 8y
