POOR KIKI!!!!
OVERALL I LOVE IT

High school romance is definitely my jam. BUT high school romance in JAKARTA?! sign me up!!!

I love how this book managed to wove online gaming sexism, cyber bullying, school bullying, and mysoginistic into a still sweet tender love story. A story of becoming a woman. Of becoming unapologetically YOU. Of a girl stands up on herself and managed to find courage with her friends. 

F*** the racist mysoginistic school that only want to SAVE FACE among other bullying problems. Sadly, it happened a lot in Indonesia, and it reflected clearly here. I love love how Kiki finally take "revenge" on this.

Oh my sweet green flag boy🫢🏽🫢🏽🫢🏽
Hope u rot in hell for those red flags boys yikes

If you're into gaming, high school romance, friends to lovers, and problematic school, give this book a go!!! πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–

Ps. It's a standalone book. However, if you have read Well That Was Unexpected, you'll find one or two familiar names here. EVEN IF YOI HAVEN'T (bcs I haven't too), it's okay. The story is still very much understandable and enjoyable.
