619#Ai no Kotoba ~ [Book Review] The Ice Cream Girls

Buku tulisan Dorothy Koomson yang pertama Hana baca. The Ice Cream Girls.

 

Rating : 4/5

As teenagers Poppy Carlisle and Serena Gorringe were the only witnesses to a tragic event. Amid heated public debate, the two seemingly glamorous teens were dubbed ‘The Ice Cream Girls’ by the press and were dealt with by the courts.

Years later, having led very different lives, Poppy is keen to set the record straight about what really happened, while married mother-of-two Serena wants no one in her present to find out about her past. But some secrets will not stay buried – and if theirs is revealed, everything will become a living hell all over again.

The Ice Cream Girls is actually a story about abusive relationships. 

  

Ini kali kedua Hana baca pasal abusive relationship. The first one is Me & You by Claudia Carroll. Tapi ter-review buku ni dulu. Tak kisah ya? :p Hehe.

Just a short review sebab masa Aidilfitri lepas Hana baca buku ni. Ingat ingat lupa :p

After almost 20 years, Serena dan Poppy bertemu kembali. Mereka hidup dalam suasana yang cukup berbeza selepas peristiwa yang membuatkan mereka famous sebagai The Ice Cream Girls. 

Bagi Hana, kisah ni lebih kepada bravery, forgetting, forgiving and accepting. Walaupun dah hampir 20 tahun berlalu, apa yang terjadi masih hidup dan menghantui Serena dan Poppy. Mereka berdua kena belajar menerima apa yang dah berlaku dan berani berhadapan dengan masa depan mereka.

A good story from Dorothy Komsoon. I really love it :)

Till then.

Wassalam.
