Sinopsis:
Sayang, menurutmu apa itu cinta? Mungkin beragam jawab akan kau dapati. Bisa jadi itu tentang laki-laki yang melindungi. Atau malah tentang bekas luka dalam hati-hati yang berani mencintai. 

Maukah kau menyimak, Sayang? Kuceritakan kepadamu perihal luka-luka yang mudah tersembuhkan. Namun, kau akan jumpai pula luka yang selamanya terpatri. Menjadi pengingat bahwa dalam mencintai, juga ada melukai. 

Jika bahagia yang kau cari, kau perlu tahu. Sudahkah kau mencintai dirimu sendiri, sebelum melabuhkan hati? Memaafkan tak pernah mudah, Sayang. Karena sejatinya cinta tidak menyakiti.

Synopsis:
Eleven-year-old Melody has a photographic memory. Her head is like a video camera that is always recording. Always. And there's no delete button. She's the smartest kid in her whole school—but no one knows it. Most people—her teachers and doctors included—don't think she's capable of learning, and up until recently her school days consisted of listening to the same preschool-level alphabet lessons again and again and again. If only she could speak up, if only she could tell people what she thinks and knows . . . but she can't, because Melody can't talk. She can't walk. She can't write. Being stuck inside her head is making Melody go out of her mind—that is, until she discovers something that will allow her to speak for the first time ever. At last Melody has a voice . . . but not everyone around her is ready to hear it. From multiple Coretta Scott King Award winner Sharon M. Draper comes a story full of heartache and hope. Get ready to meet a girl whose voice you'll never, ever forget.

Sinopsis:
‘Dikuncinya pintu di belakangnya lalu ia bersandar lemas pada pintu tersebut. Ia seperti dipaksa menyadari kenyataan. Konyol rasanya, bercinta dengan Diyan di dalam kamar yang penuh dengan kenangan mengenai Rera.

Ah, dirinya kesal setengah mati.’

Faye ditunangkan. Tanpa dasar cinta dan murni karena alasan bisnis. Calon tunangannya, Diyan, adalah eligible bachelor yang paling diinginkan di Jakarta. Laki-laki yang tak bisa melepas kenangan masa lalunya dengan seorang model cantik blasteran Prancis.

Harusnya hubungan mereka hanya sebatas ikatan artifisial saja. Tapi cinta, ego, dan ambisi yang rumit mendorong mereka ke situasi yang lebih emosional. Situasi yang mengharuskan mereka memilih dan melepaskan.

Pertanyaannya: apa... dan siapa?
