Very heavy read. I am taking my time with it. Giving time to each political and philosophical reference, highlighting, doing the due research.

I am reading this as if someone is going to take an exam on this book! 📖

Absolutely gripping and heartbreaking.
I am on a streak of reading tragic books. 😭

Engrossed. Can't put it down.

I am reading a YA book after a long time and I missed the warm flow.

First love will leave you BREATHLESS!

No. No. No.
Not liking it! 😭😔

What's it like to be the center of someone's universe? 💕

This is pure emotional upheaval.
One storm after another!
I am getting emotional already.

😭

Looking forward to reading this!
Fingers crossed 🤞

This is gonna be a one star read.
Too graphic.
Too much cringe.


What are your opinions on this?

😖

This book is feeling over stretched. The plot about heartbreak seems to drag on and on.

However, if you want to figure out your life pathway after a not so mutual break up, this book is for you!

It is undoubtedly relatable and very character driven.

Have you guys read this?

Why are so many things happening at the same time? Not that I am complaining but it is quite strenuous on the brain.

Loving it! 😍

Finally reading this.
I started it while I was on a five hour train journey and now it is all I can think of.

Progressing very fast.
So much is at stake.

Halfway through this book and the pace has picked up. Mare's choices and position feels more heavy and more dangerous now.

Although I am not loving it with all my heart, I am intrigued to see where the story turns next!

At times, I am thinking if I am too dumb to understand what they are speaking about.

I gotta do a lot of research to grasp this book. Anyone else feeling this way? Am i the only one who is feeling like this? 😞😭

I just started this with lots of hope and expectations. However, I am not gonna rush. I am gonna slowly savour this book. This picks up right from the first page. Although I wonder if this will be as good as the poppy war trilogy, I am not gonna be judgmental. I must admit that I am going into this book utterly blind. Haven't read the blurb or anything about it for that matter.

The story has picked up and how!
This isn't the book you would be able to skim read as it draws you in and leaves you curious and wanting to know more, to read more.

The pace is the only reason i picked it up but now i realize that there is so much more in this book!

Finally felt like reading a bit today. So I chose something fast paced like this.

I have high expectations from this. Let's see!

One short story every day!

A life without fanfare,
a heart heavy with silence.
Stoner teaches that even the quietest existence
can thunder with meaning.

I want to memorize every line. I want to etch the pain like a permanent tattoo. I don't want to recover from this book. I want the hangover to last till it humanly can. If I could, I would have annotated every page. But the story demanded just simple absorption and acknowledgement. So, I am giving it that!

I am already weeping and having goosebumps.
What a powerful book!

This book is a punch in my gut. It resonates with my being. The lines are echoing long after I have read and absorbed them to the fullest. There is a stark demarcation between how someone deals with his or her own mental illness and how someone deals with a mental illness that has affected the near and dear ones. There is something very intense about this book, something that is infectious and addictive.

Call me Moonbeam, would you?☺️
Bingeread this book today and now I am over halfway through.

The beginning was difficult to comprehend but once the plot started making sense and the pace picked up, I couldn't put it down!

Enough for the day, I guess! 💞

Noooooo! 😯
What the hell? 😭

I think I am going to have an unpopular opinion on this book. It is a fun time but that's all it is. A silly, giddy, goofy fun time with some emotional baggage like a dying parent and plenty of miscommunication...

I am speeding through it though. There is a reason why I don't like reading steamy, contemporary, adult romances. I wish I could explain.

Oh my God!
I started it just today (late morning) and I can't believe i couldn't stop.
I AM DEVOURING IT!
I have already shed a tear or two when...parabatai! If you know, you know.
