After I Do by Taylor Jenkins Reid


This is a second chance romance where you will go through a hurtful journey of two love birds. A very engaging narrative and super emotional characters. Too many lessons to learn and I salute Taylor Jenkins Reid for doing her research thoroughly in relationship happiness, problems and solutions. She carried her unique writing personality that made me know that this is her masterpiece without checking who the author is. I am addicted to Taylor Jenkins Reid's novels. 

I love the way she describes the early stage of the relationship, and how it bloomed up and abruptly fades. She elaborates the reasons and even gave some space for the character to mend their broken heart. I deeply felt both characters' grief and realized that those are the common problems married couple faced. Only true lovers succeed. 

The story brought me to the song sang by Chicago - Hard to Say I'm Sorry. Say no more, this is an awesome book for those who want to learn about the relationship and knowing what you want and what you want to give to your love ones. I strongly recommend this. 

My rating for this book is 5/5


Here's the quote that I am keeping with me. Excerpt from After I Do.
“Sometimes people do things because they are furious or because they are upset or because they are out for blood. And those things can hurt. But what hurts the most is when someone does something out of apathy. They don't care about you the way they said they did back in college. They don't care about you the way they promised to when you got married. They don't care about you at all.”


Here's the synopsis:
When Lauren and Ryan’s marriage reaches the breaking point, they come up with an unconventional plan. They decide to take a year off in the hopes of finding a way to fall in love again. One year apart, and only one rule: they cannot contact each other. Aside from that, anything goes.

Lauren embarks on a journey of self-discovery, quickly finding that her friends and family have their own ideas about the meaning of marriage. These influences, as well as her own healing process and the challenges of living apart from Ryan, begin to change Lauren’s ideas about monogamy and marriage. She starts to question: When you can have romance without loyalty and commitment without marriage, when love and lust are no longer tied together, what do you value? What are you willing to fight for?

Perfume: The Story of a Murderer is a literary historical fantasy novel written by the German writer Patrick Süskind. It is a genius and compelling book to be read by all. The novel is written figuratively and the story development is very engaging. The novel is full of sensory language. The synonym words like perfume, odour, scent, stench, stink are frequently used in this book. Even though reading required the eyes and the brain to comprehend the story, my nose would sniff in every part of the story told by Patrick Suskind in this book. The elements used by Suskind attracted me to read and study more about this story.

Tuhan, Bagaimana Untuk Aku Ada Perasaan? oleh Faziliya Iliya

“Tuhan, Bagaimana Untuk Aku Ada Perasaan?” merupakan sebuah buku psikologi yang ditulis oleh Faziliya Iliya dan diterbitkan oleh Institut Terjemahan & Buku Malaysia (ITBM). Gaya bahasa dan penulisan kreatif saudari Faziliya Iliya sangat menarik dan meyakinkan. Ada beberapa unsur kajian yang dijalankan di dalam penulisan ini yang membuatkan saya lebih yakin untuk membacanya. Satu di antara alasan yang menarik minat saya untuk membaca buku ini ialah, nota Pengarang yang terdapat pada helaian awal buku ini.  Saya tertarik dengan ulasan Sasterawan Negara, Dato’ Dr. Anwar Ridhwan mengenai buku ini. Ternyata buku ini mempunyai kekuatannya yang tersendiri. Selain daripada naratifnya yang mantap, pengolahan buku ini juga sangat baik. Usaha penulis mengkaji masalah psikologi yang kita sedia maklum boleh merosakkan jiwa seseorang telah disampaikan dengan penceritaan yang sangat baik. Beberapa elemen perjuangan untuk menjadi manusia normal, dan pertembungan dua su...
