am now in love with marian keyes. the plot of angels might be simple but actually it is not. in order to know maggie's dilemma, we have to finish the book. ade konsep-konsep baca depan, tengah dengan blakang ini mcm masih boleh digunapakai tetapi pasti hasilnya sungguh mengecewakan nanti. 

di dalam cerita ini, maggie telah pun pergi melawat rakannya yang berada di LA (motif tadi kau tulis english kemudian bahasa melayu?). barulah dia tahu susah sebenarnya nak industri hiburan ini. banyak cabaran. huhu

this is a story about a journey of being in love, getting married and trying to forgive and forget. how your dysfunctional family loves you for who you are and how friends are important. it also tells that beneath it all; you might not want to see the truth, which is too ugly. 

somehow it fells like keyes tries to connect us with reality through her writing by telling the entertainment industry is not as glossy as it looked or glamorous, how maybe people are not saying what they mean and most importantly, you can turn to your loved ones, no matter what. 

and it also tells that sometimes we believe in the things that we want to see; not the truth. like emily who loves troy and vice versa but troy chooses to sleep around just to make emily jealous because she doesn't believe that he loves her. 

in the end, it may have worked out for some. however, the most important part is the journey, not just the ending. 

and the part when one of the characters say that the love that returned is for you to keep, is really touching. i wondah
