Well, that was unexpected because it became the second book I read from the author, Jesse Q Susanto. This is the first book before. Didn't you see that coming. Like the other series, each book does not connect each other beside the character. And, now, we have met Sharlot & George.
The premises were interesting. Who didn't get curious to know about parents that catfish each kid and lead them into a fake relationship situation? But, for me, it's not like what I expect. It started well. But, from the middle until the end, I got bored. The relationship buidling between the two main characters did not feel connected. Sometimes, I am confused at the moment to realize what just they did and make them interested in each other? It doesn't have to be something big, but in this novel, I still can't find out why that thing can happen?
If I am comparing with didn't see that coming, it might be the author used the same formula, middle clase, chinese background, popular, or etc— and I think that the reason I got bored easily. But, looking at both novels in the same universe, I still try to handle it.
I am annoyed a lot with Sharlot. Not typically, the girl's character will get to give points for me. A convokillers? Yes. And, George, I don't know too much - He's just typically a rich guy like the others, I guess?
For Young Adult, teenager-talk, and an Indonesian background in other perspectives, this novel is still worth it to read. It's must be good humor for some people. But, someone might choose not to finish this. How about you?
