I recently watched 'Marriage Story' and was completely engrossed by its raw and emotional portrayal of a relationship falling apart. The film follows Charlie, a theater director, and Nicole, an actress, as they navigate a brutal divorce while trying to maintain a sense of normalcy for their young son. The story is heartbreaking yet relatable, showing how love can turn into resentment and how two people who once meant everything to each other can become strangers. The performances by Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson are phenomenal, capturing the pain, anger, and lingering affection between the characters. The scene where they finally unleash their pent-up emotions is one of the most powerful moments I've seen in cinema.
What struck me most was how the film balances the legal and emotional sides of divorce. The courtroom scenes are intense, but it's the quieter moments—like Charlie reading Nicole's letter or Nicole helping Charlie with his tie—that really hit home. It's a story about the end of a marriage, but also about the enduring bond between two people who shared a life together.

I have a lot of feelings about the ending. The story follows Lou Clark, a cheerful and quirky woman who becomes a caretaker for Will Traynor, a once adventurous man now paralyzed after an accident. Their relationship evolves from awkwardness to deep friendship and eventually love. However, Will’s physical condition leaves him in constant pain, and he has already decided to end his life through assisted suicide in Switzerland. Lou tries desperately to change his mind, planning trips and showing him how beautiful life can still be. Despite her efforts, Will goes through with his decision, leaving Lou heartbroken but also with a newfound perspective on life. The novel ends with Lou in Paris, wearing the striped tights Will loved, living boldly as he encouraged her to do. It’s bittersweet—devastating yet uplifting, a reminder to embrace life fully.
What makes this ending so powerful is its realism. It doesn’t sugarcoat the pain of loss or the complexity of Will’s choice. Instead, it forces readers to confront difficult questions about autonomy, love, and sacrifice. The emotional impact lingers long after the last page, making it one of those stories that stays with you.

'Me Before You' by Jojo Moyes struck me with its layered themes. At its core, the novel explores the complexities of love and sacrifice. Will Traynor, a paraplegic man, and Louisa Clark, his caretaker, form a bond that questions the boundaries of personal happiness and selflessness. The story doesn’t shy away from tough topics like euthanasia and the right to choose one’s fate, making it a thought-provoking read.
Another major theme is the idea of living life to the fullest. Louisa’s transformation from a small-town girl with limited aspirations to someone who embraces adventure mirrors Will’s desire for her to see the world beyond her comfort zone. The contrast between their perspectives—Will’s resignation and Louisa’s optimism—creates a poignant dynamic. The novel also touches on societal expectations and the stigma around disability, adding depth to its emotional resonance.

The inspiration behind 'Thunderstruck' struck me during a stormy night when I was stuck in a small coastal town. The power went out, and I found myself in a dimly lit café, listening to locals share tales of shipwrecks and lost loves. One story, in particular, caught my attention—a sailor who vanished during a storm, leaving behind a cryptic letter. That letter became the heart of the novel. I imagined a modern-day protagonist discovering it, unraveling a century-old mystery tied to their own family. The storm outside mirrored the emotional turbulence of the characters, and the setting became a character itself. I wanted to explore how the past and present collide, how secrets buried deep can resurface with a force as powerful as thunder.
Writing 'Thunderstruck' felt like chasing lightning—unpredictable, electrifying, and utterly consuming. I drew from my fascination with how weather can shape human emotions, how a storm can be both destructive and cleansing. The novel became a blend of historical fiction and contemporary drama, with the storm serving as a metaphor for the chaos and clarity that love and loss can bring.

I've always been drawn to dark storylines because they explore the raw, unfiltered aspects of human nature. Books like 'The Picture of Dorian Gray' by Oscar Wilde or 'Crime and Punishment' by Dostoevsky delve into moral decay and psychological torment, showing how easily humanity can spiral into darkness. What fascinates me is how these stories often stem from real-life horrors or philosophical dilemmas—Wilde's obsession with aestheticism and decay, Dostoevsky's grappling with guilt and redemption. Even modern works like 'Gone Girl' by Gillian Flynn tap into societal fears, like the fragility of relationships and media manipulation. Dark books don’t just shock; they hold up a mirror to our deepest fears and flaws, making them unforgettable.

Hoid is one of those characters who just pops up everywhere in Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere, and his role in the 'Mistborn' series is no exception. He doesn’t have a huge spotlight in the original trilogy, but his appearances are always intriguing. I love how he’s this mysterious figure who seems to know way more than anyone else, dropping cryptic hints and weaving through the narrative like a ghost. In 'The Hero of Ages,' he’s the beggar who talks to Vin, and that conversation is packed with foreshadowing about the Cosmere’s bigger picture. It’s like Sanderson is teasing us with Hoid’s presence, making you wonder what his endgame is. Even though he’s not directly involved in the main plot, his interactions feel like puzzle pieces for the larger Cosmere lore. That’s why I think he’s important—he’s a thread connecting 'Mistborn' to something much grander.

Dreams in 'The Sandman' aren’t just plot devices—they’re the narrative engine. Morpheus’ realm, the Dreaming, represents humanity’s collective subconscious. When he’s imprisoned, the ripple effect causes global sleeping sickness and creative stagnation. Dreams here are both personal and universal: they birth ideas, process trauma, and even resurrect forgotten gods.
The Corinthian, a nightmare, reflects society’s darkest curiosities. But it’s the fragility of dreams that’s most compelling—Morpheus’ rigid rules about order versus chaos mirror our own struggles with creativity versus control. Ultimately, dreams are the soul’s unedited truth, making them terrifying and vital.

I just finished binging 'Struggling as a Villain' last week, and the redemption arc is absolutely brutal but satisfying. The protagonist starts as a twisted manipulator who thrives on chaos, but witnessing the collateral damage of his schemes changes him. It's not some overnight flip—he backslides constantly, like when he nearly poisons an ally out of paranoia. What makes it work is how his growth ties to understanding vulnerability. By the final act, he's using his cunning to protect rather than destroy, even sacrificing his reputation to save the kingdom he once tried to overthrow. The author nails the messy reality of change—no easy forgiveness, just hard-earned trust built through actions.
