Being 17 is a teenlit novel which written by Amalia Suryani.  She is the talented author nomination of Teenlit Writer that held by Gramedia. She had created some other novels, such as Rival, 100 Hours, and The Business Moms. This book was published at May, 2005. This book consists of 265 pages. Now, the books were published and distributed by Gramedia Pustaka Utama. This book is a teen novel that tells us about the life of the main character in this novel. This book consists of 16 chapters which relate to each other.
Being 17 tells us about the life of a teenager, Sandra Rosaline, who had just turned 17 years old. She lived with her mother. Her parents had divorced when she was sitting in fourth grade. She had a boyfriend who was very attractive and handsome named Rian. Rian was a model who was very obsessed to be a great actor. Actually, Sandra was not happy if he became a famous person. But, it didn’t stop him to achieve his desired.
Not only Rian that had a dream, Sandra also had a dream. Her big dream is to go to Paris. Initially, she just could imagine her dreams. She always tried to get her dream come true. She followed some course and tried to get a scholarship. But when the dream was in sight she had to decline that offer. Her mother didn’t allow her to join the student exchange. In addition, Rian didn’t want if she went to France especially with Andre, Sandra’s close friend.
The conflict increased when Rian became more distant and always think about his obsession, her father was back and they need to fix their relationship. And Andre, Sandra’s close friend who had the same dream to go to Paris, started to show his feelings on Sandra. Actually, Andre had loved Sandra since the first time they met. But, he had to bury his love because Sandra had had a boyfriend. Over time, the relationship with Andre increasingly felt privileged, while Rian even more busy and can not often with Sandra. All her problem made Sandra to think hard to solve it.
Turned out, be 17-years-ol teenager was not easy. Sandra who originally thought that be 17 years old teenager was mediocre, began to be overwhelmed by the events that stirred her emotions.
I think there are many interesting events that had passed by Sandra in this novel. Starting from the happiness, sadness, and touching. This book reveals the story of teenage life with Sandra perspective as the main character. This book is very interesting to read by teenagers.
The language used in the book is quite easy to understand. The story in it presents a strong message and not easily predictable. However, from the whole story if we read carefully, there are a lot of messages and valuable lessons from the author that we can get after reading this book.
