Shit does happen in their life. But, still, life must go on….
Lula, Sebastian, dan Langit. Tiga orang lajang yang hidup di kota besar bernama Jakarta dengan profesi berbeda. Jurnalis, penulis, dan editor. Love their life much, so damn proud of themselves, boast about their freedom of life as an individual.
‘till one question ruins their [un]perfect life.
Lula: I have a good job, I’m pretty, and, believe me, I’m not an airhead Paris-Hilton-like girl. I’m all what men need. Tapi, kenapa nggak ada cincin di jari manis gue?
Sebastian: Mangoli (nikah)… cuma itu yang ada di pikiran Mama akhir-akhir ini. Katanya, menikah itu sumber kebahagiaan. Talk to yourself, Mom. Your marriage isn’t a picture of a happy life. Kenapa sih terus-terusan maksa aku nyari calon parumaen (menantu) dan menikah secepatnya?
Langit: We were a perfect couple. ‘till, I found out about his affair. Then, he left me. He chose his latest partner, not me. This is my big question mark, WHY??
So, this is not a story about a perfect life.
They just try HARD to make it perfect.
… Buku ini membuat gue berdecak dari, ehm, kalimat pertama sampai terakhir. Lucu, cerdas, dan membuat berpikir. Membaca dua editor super ini akhirnya ‘kawin’ dan beranak novel membuat gue berkesimpulan: awesomeness happens!’
–Raditya Dika, penulis korban editan mereka berdua.
‘Buku ini punya dialog yang kocak dan cerdas! I think any smart, sophisticated, mid and late 20s urban people dengan segala quarter life crisis-nya could really relate to the story…. It’s just…wow! Happy reading!’
