I'm gonna post something here as always hoping to entertain you! Here we go
So i just finished read my novel, 'Just Like Butterflies' by Claudia Natasia. Have you read it or heard that novel? Well i'll tell you. This novel is written by a 19 years old girl. Though she's indonesian but she wrote her novel in english. This novel isn't about love story or princess and her prince, but it's about a girl who discovered the beauty of faith and love during summer. This is the prologue that written on the back of the book.
"Living within the boundaries of unrequited love was something that sixteen year old Chantel hated. Adopted from China into what seemingly was the perfect family, Chantel grew up with a scar across her face; a remnant of her past that made her see herself and the world as a terrfyingly ugly place. With the scar; love and everything beautiful was non existent. Living within her rebellious cousin's footsteps, made Chantel sink even further into her own pool of fears, where she slowly realizes that the farthest she could possibly get to a happily ever after at this rate, were her dreams. However, all it took was one summer to change everything."
This novel released in 2010, and i only bought it around January 2012. When i found out that it's a novel written in english by Indonesian girl, i was so happy. Because i've been searching that kind of novel and 'Just Like Butterflies' was my first one.
In this novel, Chantel was just like me. I'm not adopted or have scar across my face, but i'm so afraid to face the change and always feel i'm not beautiful. But Chantel also taught me that every girl is beautiful and deserve happily ever after with a guy like Josh.
You can click this for more information about it.
After read her novel i'm thinking i want to be like her. I mean, i want to write my own novel in english either indonesian and publish it. All of sudden it's now become one of my dream.
I will be soon working on it and hope to publish it someday. Amen.A girl can dream.
Me and 'Just Like Butterflies'

Thank you for your kind words. I know this is several years too late but coming across this post makes me want to write a second book. I'm glad my book inspired you to write one of your own. Hopefully I get a chance to read yours someday.
