The MC:
I’m sure there’s a whole section of psychological journals written on using humour for deflection of vulnerability, or whatever.

Mrin, whose hobby is creating memes:

‘’You know what they say about men and (the size of) their wings’’ 😉
This line sounds familiar?? It's not from ACOTAR tho
It belongs to the Guild Hunter series by Nalini Singh!!!

It's true tho!!! read that series!! U will understand how much similar they are *huffs*

Soo..I joined IG
Idk why I am being so awkward about this lol
But if you have bookstagram account..I would like to be your friend!!!

MINE!!☝
Let me know yours and I will follow you back!!(Y does IG term sound stalkerish??)

Don't tell my real-life friends about this tho*nervous*

I still don't like this book BUT at least we have some ACTUAL Indian names that are NOT Rahul/Raj/Rohan *sighs*

So far we have :
Aditya
Mohit
Ankur

All these names are real and feel normal
(Idk what I am saying!!!!😅😶)

‘I need some friends here. And you seemed like a safe-zone guy. Like the kind of guy who could just be friends with a girl, right?’
Absolutely not, I thought. Why would any guy want to be only friends with a girl?

Indian guys who are actually just friends with girls

This belittles actual platonic friendships

Most IIM girls are above shallow things like make-up, fitting clothes, contact lenses, removal of facial hair, body odour and feminine charm.

Who the heck does this dude think he is huh???😑🤔😡🤬
Who gave him the right to declare these things as "shallow"
Zindagi bhar single rahega...meri haay hai tujhe😂

“Do you South Indians even
know what emotions are all about?”

Just 1 per cent in and I already hate this😬😐
What was Chetan Bhagat thinking while writing this???
So his south Indian gf broke with him(i can see y...he is def a loser)
And now he hates every south Indian???!!! Pagal he kya!!!!😶😑

Me going through my tbr to find a book that gets me out of this 2-month reading slump be like:


Also me being dramtic for no reason:

So I have a crush on this MC BUT I am afraid to fall "in love" with him CAUSE as soon as I end up liking a character..the author kills him!!!!!

So I am on this FB group and the author decided to screenshot one of the qts from SJM club
The author was really happy that someone from SJM club read her book
BUT turns out the person who did ask the question is my friend here on GR!!!
I was like, "She is my friend!!!"

But I got shy all of a sudden😑

This book has a sassy key!!!!😂😤
The sassy Key:
I feel like I'm entitled to something resembling decent treatment here
How I imagine the key:

The Luuurve interest is so dumb!!
he has the responsibility of his entire kingdom and he struggles to make basic decisions

The Luuurve interest "saved" her from a snake
He hit the snake with an arrow...*reminds me of something*

My imagination got no chill lmao😂

Vows to create a hundred sons on his. Lara could’ve sworn she heard a soft snort of amusement from behind the king’s helmet.

*gets a flashback of Mahabharat*


In Mahabharat, one of the kings had HUNDRED sons

There's a mention of LIZARDS...
How I imagine that lizard

So our princess has to wear the clothes that best suit her.
She's being forced to wear a PINK dress
This is NOT HOW IT WORKS!!!
Eg,  I've got tanned skin with a warm undertone
So, I usually wear peachy pink or blush colors.
SPECIFY the pink!! Duh!!!

If u r adding something...do some research SMH
Idk why this is bothering me😂

Honestly...the last 10% of this book is soooo intense!!

This woman is trying to KILL her
And Coraline is being POLITE!!!!
Like I would forget every single manner and become a barbarian if anyone was trying to kill me lol😂
Not say "thank you" and "sorry"!!!!!🙂
I would show that person what savage means IRL 😆

She found a spider the size of a little cat.🐱


And she didn't freak out either!!!😶😑


Like whyyyyyy??!!!!
I would have sued the entire world lol🤫😂🕷🕷🕸
Itsy bitsy spiderrrrrr🕷🕸🕷🕸

“How are your dear mother and father?” asked Miss Spink.

“Missing,” said Coraline. “I haven't seen either of them since yesterday. I'm on my own. I think I've probably become a single child family.”

Oh my gosh!!! I love this dramatic little monster🤭🤫🤐

‘I swear it,’ said the other mother. ‘I swear it on my own mother’s grave.’
‘Does she have a grave?’ asked Coraline.
‘Oh yes,’ said the other mother. ‘I put her in there myself. And when I found her trying to crawl out, I put her back.’

* crickets chirping*
Awkward moment 😶

The reason I feel disconnected is the cultural diff
In India, its common to stay single
Even I haven't dated anyone BUT no one "pities" me
Cause almost every one of my age group is single lol
BUT this BOOK makes me feel strange
As if I were doing something wrong by staying single

Its getting frustrating tbh

Ughhh!! I am not liking the direction this is going SMH
She is leading him on😑
Like I understand she is trying to understand her sexuality...I just wish she was clear abt it from the beginning
That way no one gets hurts!!!

Even she agrees with this BUT does not act on it😒

"What's in a name?" asked Miss Forcible."That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet
It reminds me of the rose bush from "The Little Prince"
My little closet geek self decided to read that book and summarise it for the entire class😂🙈

SHE WENT THROUGH THE DOOR!!!
Like WHYYYYYY??!! If there's a creepy door in my room which makes weird noises..I will PRAY TO EVERY SINGLE GOD I KNOW!!
Not start my very own season of Dora the Explorer SMH

“I'm going for a walk,” said Coraline.
As a brown kid...this is NOT relatable lol😂
You don't TELL your parents..you ASK them

There was also a well
MRIN WHO HAS WATCHED THE MOVIE AND KNOWS WHAT THIS MEANS
*office style looking at GR*

I am reallllly liking this Jason dude
He has FOOD for every situation!! he carries SNACKS around!! I am gonna keep him forever lol

Ohhh...and he has a teddy bear jacket!!! *whispers* It's floofy!!

WE HAVE AN EXTROVERT IN THIS BOOK!!!!
My extrovert self rt now:*happy wala dance*

I already love Rooney!!! She named her fern plant "Roderick" 🤣
Ohhh..and she love aqua colour#aesthectics
And she already befriended the MC's parents #relatable

The female friendships in are reminding me of my friends here on GR!!
I am NOT bluffing!! Just go ahead and read some of the comments
See if it makes any sense lol😂
