Jakarta, 2001. Cinta's life seems almost perfect. She has solid friends in high school, a loving family, and the status of the most popular girl in school. Everything feels safe and exciting-until one day, Cinta loses a poetry contest to a super mysterious guy named Rangga. Rangga is different from anyone Cinta has ever met. He doesn't like crowds, preferring to read a book in a corner, and his words can make people's hearts tremble. At first Cinta is annoyed, but then she becomes curious... The problem is, Rangga's world is very different from Cinta's. One is full of laughter and best friend drama, the other is quiet but deep. And in the fast-paced teenage years, sometimes feelings come before we are ready to understand. Because of an incident with her best friend, Cinta must choose between her supportive friends and her first love.
