The Bookaholic Club, a novel by Poppy D. Chusfani

Des is a witch. Tori is a nervy and nerd. Chira can see ghosts. Erin is extraordinary beautiful and popular. This four teenage girls who is seemingly different, have common thing: feeling isolated and love books. Accidentally, they become friends.

Accidentally? That’s what they thought. There is someone has a plan meeting them for duty them must face. Terrible duty that will bring them to life-or-death situation, nightmare-become-reality. Four of them who call themselves The Bookaholic Club, will do something far dangerous than disccussed a book.

Four main characters, four point of views in sequential plots. It’s told in turn based story. This book has socialite setting: party, having fun, sports car, sophisticated gadgets, high class designed fashions. Phiuh, I feel tired only reading these behaviors.

Bellin and Andes tricked me. Bellin is the new guy in school. Handsome like a god (except his black hair), rich, basketball player so I like him. But, TA-DA! He is the Shadow’s assistant. And the worse is, Andes, the transexual cheerleader coach is the Shadow himself!

Poppy wrote four characters that different in ever way except books. The four of them like books very much. They visit an ancient book store in chinatown. I don’t even know there is one in Indonesia (or the story is not in Indonesia?) Poppy didn’t tell where the setting is. Just like me. I don’t fond telling the city that the story takes place. I prefer the readers imagine that for themselves.
