Kekurangan

Interesting book cover. The stories featured are perfectly suited to today's youth life. The author
has managed to create strong characters. Writers can also give them a distinctive feature on each
character. The storyline depicted in the novel makes sense. The stages of the conflict are well
told and the resolution is quite clear.

Kelebihan

The downside of this Dear Nathan novel is the way writers create narratives. Some feel
redundant and sometimes the selection of diction feels lacking. The narrative is too swirling.
Some words still use words that are not standard. Books are too thick, so people have a lazy taste
for reading them.

Conclusion/Recommanded

This novel is perfect for teenagers because the stories presented are quite interesting and there
are many mandates that educate especially in the family.
