First, a crucial clarification for new readers: There is a common confusion surrounding the title

Whether you download the ebook or buy the printed copy, prepare yourself for a trip back to Bandung in the 90s. Just remember: the story isn't about ITB, and it isn't 1997. It’s about Dilan, and it is distinctly 1990.

You can find the physical or digital copies of the novel through official retailers rather than unofficial download sites to ensure you get the complete, authorized version:

In 2018, the novel was adapted into a film, directed by Fajar Bustomi and starring Iqbaal Ramadhan as Dilan. The film was a commercial success, grossing millions of dollars at the box office. The movie's popularity can be attributed to its faithful adaptation of the novel, capturing the essence of the characters and their relationships.

The novel is available for purchase at major bookstores like Gramedia or online marketplaces such as Tokopedia and Shopee .
