Reviewer : Nurul Eka Putri

Leon is a boy with so many problems. Teachers do not like him and he is involved with gank’s battle. In his vision, life is unfair. His family abuse him and send him to Bandung, while his family live in Japan. Leon never had a real friend except Iris. Iris is a beautiful girl that live in Bandung, they met at flower shop where Iris worked. But suddenly, Iris died and leave Leon alone with nothing but pain. Two years after that, Leon meet with a girl. He never interesting with any girl (except Iris) before. But this girl is different, because Leon meet this girl with a really interesting conversition, this girl said she wants to suicide and Leon just cuckle at this statement. But the day after that, in his school’s toilet, Leon find the girl with a cut in her wrist. He saves her and they get close day by the day. The girl’s name is Spiza, and Leon find many similar things in Spiza that remind him to Iris. But he soon find, the reason of Spiza’s suicide incident is chain with Iris’ death. Who is Spiza? Why she always apologize to nothing?

I love this book because the change of Leon’s character from the beginning to the end is shown perfectly. ‘Dan Hujan pun Berhenti’ is a heart-warming and lovely story about teenager’s life. My favorite part in this book is when Leon realise, he is hurting himself and everybody around him when he distant himself and reject everyone.It make me happy, just like watching my own child get mature.

I recommend this book for the one who like drama and love story. Because the novel is full of drama and there are some light humor. I recommend this book for teenagers around 14 to 18.
