Story that is told in this novel is very good. A very nice part is when Adit told how he could know that Ayu is Ocha. Not be predicted or predictable in advance. Although the story that is told in this novel is quite ordinary, but the style of language that is used the author makes us anxious to know the rest of the story, though the actual plot feels a bit slow because there are few events that actually have no effect but also telling. Characterizations that is provided the author is also very clear, allowing us to understand the nature of each character and can dive into every event experienced by these figures. Setting a place that is used in the story can be imagined easily even though we have never known and never went to the place in question.
