It's one of my favorite books by Dee. I love her way set the plot, although it's kinda cliche for a role like Kugy as a fun, ignorant, dreamer girl and just do whatever she wants, get the most handsome almost perfect guy like Keenan. And don't forget about Ojos! Oh, I just find it like an FTV. But yeah, I admit it, a confident and independent person is waaaay more attractive than the others.

So, this book is actually talk about Kugy : a dreamer, active, ingorant girl, and Keenan : a painter and sculptor, handsome, perfect guy. Thanks to Eko, Kugy's best friend's boyfriend, which is also Keenan's cousin, they met and knew each other, then became great friends since then.
Kugy's already had a boyfriend since high school, Ojos, before she met Keenan. They're good until Kugy started being busied with her social agenda in Sakola Alit and Ojos started questioning Kugy's feeling for him. Then Wanda, Noni's cousin, came into the circle.
Noni and Eko, didn't realize Kugy's feeling for Keenan, had a plan to match them up. Kugy couldn't tell Noni about her feeling and started to pull herself out of Keenan's circle, including Noni and Eko. There're misunderstandings and conflicts everywhere without being solved until they graduated and walked different paths. Kugy has her life in an advertisement company of this handsome, adorable guy (another handsome guy fall for her. AGAIN!), a friend of her brother. And Keenan was studying sculpting in Bali, when he met a Balinese girl who able to capture his heart after Kugy left. But how far Kugy and Keenan apart, destiny will talk in the end. They meet, and here's the final conflict, would they walk their life separately forever, or they should go back together when the time is almost too late to be flipped.

Although this novel is pretty much different from other Dee's novel that tend to be heavier in content, but the way she sets the plot was awesome. I can't stop reading it, like I'm craving for more and more. Also, she puts so many quotes I like such as:
"Kadang-kadang langit bisa kelihatan seperti lembar hitam yang kosong. Padahal sebenarnya tidak. Bintang kamu tetap ada di sana. Bumi hanya sedang berputar." 
"Hati tak pernah memilih. Ia selalu tahu kemana harus berlabuh"

This novel can take me up and down with it. Laugh and cry. I couldn't say more. It's another masterpiece of Dee. Well done!

Adios! ^^
