I expect more of the interaction between Marcellius and Tova. I was excited to read Marcellius' pov at the beginning of the book yet as it goes up to the next pages, it is more detailed to elaborate about Cameron and other stories. Like the actual reason of Erik disappear is nowhere to be found ??? or I didn't put much attention to it huh.

Ironi yang terjadi atas kenakalan remaja dan bagaimana keadilan juga hukum dipertanyakan.

Lewat buku ini, aku semakin setuju kenapa orang tua anak perempuan itu punya PR lebih banyak, tapi bukan berarti yang punya anak laki-laki gak punya tanggung jawab. Keduanya punya kewajiban mengedukasi anak mereka supaya gak bertindak melanggar norma. Sebab aku rasa buku ini meng-highlight kenakalan remaja, buku ini juga jadi tamparan bagi para orang tua. Pun pemerintahan supaya melegalkan juga memberikan hukuman yang setimpal bagi remaja meskipun di bawah umur sekalipun.

God, I feel bad and sorry for what have happened to Ema karena aku rasa kisah Ema banyak terjadi di kehidupan nyata. Pun dengan endingnya yang sebenarnya sudah terduga dan that sucks but thats the reality. Fuxced up.
