First of all, it was an easy and comfortable book to read, and it had everything you would expect from a romance novel. The characters constantly running into each other, the male main character always being the one who saves the woman, those moments where the female character is like “I don’t depend on a man, look, I’m strong too,” and the fact that they immediately fell for each other from the very first moment they saw each other — it had all of those things. The girl loving luxury but also having those “I’m not like that” moments was there too. Even the way they acted like teenagers experiencing love for the first time was included.
I was expecting something more interesting, especially since the main character was supposedly bisexual, but she basically fell for the first handsome and rich man she saw. I didn’t like any of the characters. Honestly, it was obvious how the ending would go. They were either going to get married or he was going to propose, and that unnecessary breakup scene the author added just to create some drama was so pointless.
It was nice to read something that reflected Armenian culture, and the book has an English level that flows easily and doesn’t make the reader struggle too much. But aside from that, I feel like something was missing. It could have been much better.
It’s readable, but I don’t think it’s a book that should be taken too seriously. In my opinion, it was just a very light, “snackable” read.
İlk olarak okunması rahat bir kitaptı ve bir romantik kitapta bulunacak her şey vardı. Karakterlerin her daim denk gelmesi, çoğu zaman ana erkek karakterin hep kadını kurtarması ve arada benim kadın karakterim bir erkeğe bağlı değil, bakın o da çok güçlü denilen anları ve birbirlerini gördükleri ilk andan itibaren hemen birbirlerine
Crave is honestly and really confusing, at least it was for me. There’s no clear story, no proper characters, and it just jumps from one line to another.
At first it feels like you’re missing something, but actually that’s just how it’s written.
It’s more about feelings than meaning. Love, loneliness, obsession… all mixed together in a very messy way.
For me it was the kind of text you don’t fully understand, you just sit, read and try to understand what's going on with it.
Bazı hikâyeler tam tahmin ettiğin gibi ilerler. Bazılarıysa son sayfada tüm bildiklerini sorgulatır. 🤯

hiçbir olayın olmadığı, karakterin hayatının sıradanlığının olduğu gibi aktarıldığı kitapları okumayı seviyorum. buna rağmen roman başlarda sabrımı epey sınadı yalan söyleyemeyeceğim. ama bir süre sonra açılıyor ya da ben açılıyorum galiba, romanın normal akışında gitmeye devam ettiğini ve değişen bir şey olmadığını düşünecek olursak.
ivan ve selin arasındaki ilişki roman boyunca cızırdıyor. asla patlamıyor. sönmüyor da. o gerilimi daima hissediyorsun. birbiriyle alakasız yazışmalarını, hiçbir yere varmayan muhabbetlerini, ve o kendine özgü aksak ilişkilerini okumak benim hoşuma gitti açıkçası. ama bazen düşünmüyor da değilim: acaba yazar böyle karakterler yaratıp onlara böyle dinamiğe sahip bir ilişki kurgularken aklından neler geçiyor? ben bunu okumaktan zevk alırken insan ilişkilerinin ne kadar komplike ve kendi anlayışımdan uzak olabileceğinin farkına vararak bundan haz mı duyuyorum yoksa iki korkak iletişim özürlüsünün yaşadığı şeyi romantize ederek kendimi gülünç duruma mı sokuyorum? yazar bu ikilemin farkında ve ondan besleniyor mu yoksa aslında aynı gülünç durumun içerisinde mi? bilmiyorum. en nihayetinde kendi realitemden uzak olduğu için zevk aldığım bir kitaptı. macaristan kısımlarını eleştirenler olmuş sıkıcı diye. bence güzeldi. sadece sonu korkunç aceleye gelmiş gibiydi. gerçi sonlara doğru selin'in ruh halinden artık devam ettirecek bir şeyin çok da kalmadığını seziyor insan. yine de gerçekten iyi bir şekilde yapılmadığı sürece çat diye biten şeyleri sevmiyorum. yürürken duvara toslamışım gibi, ışıklar birden sönmüş gibi hissettiriyor.
okurken çok eğlendiğimi söyleyemesem de, zaman zaman bana kendimi fazla yalnız hissettirse de sevdim kitabı. ama "inan bana hiç umrumda değil bu şu an biliyor musun" dedirten kısımları bolca var. okurken bunu demeye

Lilly herself would never have believed she would end up in this situation. Her first love and her past...Everything was confusing and yet so simple...
When Atlas suddenly reappears,everything Lily has built with Ryle is threatened.
You will be smiling through your tears..
Just because we didn’t end up on the same wave doesn’t mean we aren’t still a part of the same ocean.
The book is worth reading I especially loved the ending and mom talk… the way she craves weakness beside her mom and wants to give up on showing strength…by crying in her arms…
This conversation melted my heart..
Lily; Sometimes…when I am really missing him..I tell myself that maybe it wasn’t that bad. Maybe I could put up with him when he’s at his worst just so I can have him when he’s at his best.
Mum; I know exactly what you mean,Lily.But the last thing you want to do is lose ~sight of your limit~.Please don’t allow that to happen.

We all have a limit. What we're willing to put up with before we break. When I married your father, I knew exactly what my limit was. But slowly . . . with every incident . . . my limit was pushed a little more. And a little more. The first time your father hit me, he was immediately sorry. He swore it would never happen again. The second time he hit me, he was even more sorry. The third time it happened, it was more than a hit. It was a beating. And every single time, I took him back. But the fourth time, it was only a slap. And when that happened, I felt relieved. I remember thinking, At least he didn't beat me this time. This wasn't so bad.""
She brings the napkin up to her eyes and says, "Every incident chips away at your limit. Every time you choose to stay, it makes the next time that much harder to leave. Eventually, you lose sight of your limit
THE BEAST AMONG US
Personality is a set of characteristics that the individual has and distinguishes the individual from others. In psychology, personality has been studied from many aspects and theories have been established on this subject. Sigmund Freud that forms the basis of all theories has been studied over the concepts of id, ego and superego that affect the behavior and preferences of the person. Carl Gustav Jung, a student of Freud, began to oppose Freud's views in later stages, often rejecting Freud's views. Today the purpose of this paper is to express the character of Henry Fleming, the main character of The Red Badge of Courage written by Stephen Crane, in the light of archetypes that display Jung's basic human behavior.
To achieve this goal, I have organized my paper into two sections. In the first section, I am going to mention about our main character Henry Fleming’s characteristic properties in Red Badge of Courage. In the second section, I will tell you Henry Fleming’s psychological complexity in the light of Carl Gustav Jung’s thoughts.
The Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crane, a war novel, presents us with the hidden and terrible face of war. A youth named Henry Flemming enlists in the Union Army in hopes of achieving his visions of heroism and glory. Shortly after he enlists, the fact of his decision arises. But things make him bring a different state than what was planned by Henry.
He is surpassed because of his fear of death. During his first combat, he escapes from the battle field when the enemy approaches. He instantly notices that war is not what he thought. Henry does not stop retreating even after his mockery manages to destroy the enemy. After the first conflict is over, Henry is left be alone with his own conscience. He feels
