Mirror, Mirror on the Wall…, a novel by Poppy D. Chusfani

Karin feels plain of herself. Even too plain comparing to beautiful and clever sister. Her aspiration becoming a soprano and her dream to get the coolest guy at school’s attention, Andre seem never done because she’s to shy to do anything. Until one day come unexpected helps,like a gift from her ancestor.

Karin faces two choices: listening to people who love her but can’t help her, or let herself be guided to success to top of the world by uncontrollable power. Power which suppose to be Kesultanan’s dark secret since hundreds of years ago.

Old story with new costume. Magic mirror of Kesultanan Banten. One of Poppy’s good book. The main character here has two guards, I think one is angel and the other is devil. Those two guards formed in tigresses.

It’s an ordinary teenager story. Bullied high school girl likes the coolest guy at school, become a star because of her magic mirror then that guy likes her in the end but unfortunately she rejects him (I think she choose her Netherland bestfriend).

Because of the common things inside, the story is good. I can’t write ordinary story like this. I always think the most complicated or weird plots and never finish it. No matter how hard I’m thinking, I can’t find simple and probably-happen-in-your-lives plot. Maybe one day, that idea will show itself before my eyes (my brain, actually).
