Review

For me, the idea behind this book and the title are great, but unfortunately it doesn’t deliver.

I started out thinking that this book would be one of romantic books that can give you those butterfly feelings, but apparently it wasn’t.  The very moment I read the book, I felt dissatisfied and want to stop.

The story is flat and boring, with almost no strong parts. The only part that I thought “this is it, this is the part where the book is going to be interesting” is when Xiang Wei Xin was being fooled by a guy. But then that’s it, it’s just an illusion.

The story just goes back and forth of how Xiang Wei Xin is craving for food, and how she deals with her guitar club. The plot is lacking and failed to develop the romance between Xiang Wei Xin and Tao Yu Quan.

I give this book 2 from 5 stars.
