Update 4
Apparently, I thought I couldn't get any more cheesy BUT Spoiler Alert: I AM AS CHEESY AS ONE CAN GET!!
I PROMISED myself that I will STOP fangirling over Wolf

But the constant reminder of Wolf made me miss him even more!!!
*whispers* I ended up making a playlist on us (Wolf and Mrin)
Wellllll.....actually mymortal enemy friend Shhh made the playlist Cause apparently I was playlist illiterate 😂😅(I know I sound like an old soul BUT I really had no idea you could personalize your own playlist !! BUT now I can make my own!! *cheers for self*)
Ummmm..the playlist's name is Wolfin Around xD
Wolfin= Wolf+Mrin (cringes)
This is what happens when you ship yourself with your true love *sighs in Wolf*

Don't worry you guys!!! All the songs are Bollywood Songs!! So most of you won't have to cringe at the cheesiness again😂
this playlist is a REMINDER for FUTURE Mrin...to let her know HOW CRINGEY and ANNOYING 19 yrs old Mrin was😂
The playlist:
Update 3
Thanks for being patient with my fangirling🙈
Here I made a meme for you all!!!

I mean....I should have thanked you all for bearing with me first😂
I might have gonemuch a little overboard with my Wolf updates😅
Not that I am complaining!! I could have continued with my updates FOREVER!!😂
So thank you once again�
Wolf’s expression iced over and he looked away. His tone became uneasy again. “I know you must want nothing to do with me. I don’t blame you.� Wolf scrunched up his shoulders, and met her with an expression full of regret. “But you’re the only one, Scarlet. You’ll always be the only one.�
When WOLF said this Mrin went like...

This is the "Bridal look" btw...
Nooooo that's not me😂
But I would definitely propose Wolf if he said this to me
Just in case you are wondering why I picked that particular pic...THOSE EXPRESSIONS!!!!!🙈
I can see myself reacting to Wolf that way...😂😅(Ohhh and that is Maharashtrian Bride Look...I am from the state of Maharashtra)(And EVERY STATE in INDIA has a diff bridal look)
DISCLAIMERThis is going to be a cheesy review...You have been warned!! This is basically me fangirling over Wolf
Also don't be surprised if I write MRIN instead of SCARLET....That's because Scarlet is basically me BUT with red hair
🙈
Let's start the review.....
Scarlet

Just gonna take a moment and appreciate Marissa for the BODY DIVERSITY
For the first time when I read this, I found MC who not only had a similar personality as mine BUT also the same BODY TYPE
It might not mean much to you...But back then I LOVED seeing someone with a similar body type as mine
Also while reading this book it felt that I was seeing myself in Scarlet for the entire time
Especially the inner monologue of Scarlet😂
We were thinking the exact same thing!!
Her thoughts & feelings regarding Wolf, Her making some tough decisions and her being STUPID....
Everything was relatable!!
I couldn't even get mad at her when she did something stupid because just before she was being dumb .....I thought the exact same thing😂
MRIN TAKING NOTES ON WHAT NOT TO DO IF A RANDOM STRANGER HELPED HER

Another thing which I loved....the anger management issues Scarlet had
Someone who has anger issues herself...I could point out the small instances where Scarlet struggled to control her anger
Our methods to calm down were also similar
And the trouble she got into because of it made me go...

Just random bunch of things which I found in common with Scarlet
*Extrovert
* Loves farm
*Wants to be content & happy...probably will retire to a farmhouse
*Family means EVERYTHING
*Loves working in the garden(Our Garden had Okra, potatoes, spinach, herb garden ...OF COURSE TOMATOES & other vegetables which I am having trouble translating)
*BFF with Grandma
*Does stupid things
*Get's into trouble bcoz of STUPIDITY
*Does not understand "STRANGER DANGER"
*Is irritating
*Stubborn to a fault
*Has a thing for sweet cinnamon roll boy
*Is probably the only one in the group who thinks Wolf is sweet😂
*MOST IMPORTANT...LOVES WOLF TILL DEATH
Can we start talking about Wolf???!!!

If you have been my friend for a while....you might know that Wolf is like...."THE ONE" for me
No....if you don't like him...DO NOT tell me!!!
For me, he is the best...
HE IS JUST MISUNDERSTOOD!!!

Now the "maglev kiss scene"
When it happened...

When Wolf kissed back...

Did I mention he is Scorpio????!!!
WOLF is a SCORPIO!!!
And I am CANCER!!!!
*shouts at the top of her lungs*WE ARE MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN!!!
P.S.: I know Zodiacs are not true and blah blah BUT I don't need you to tell me😂
Let me live in my small bubble!!!
Ok...Sooo I am quite serious about Wolf...
So I decided to make his portfolio...to present it to my parents...
It's an Indian thing...like tinder but family is the one to choose...
NAME :WOLF aka Zeev Kesley
PHOTO :

AGE : 23 yrs old (Just 4 yrs age difference mom!! It's not much!!)
Height : 6ft 3 inch (Imagine mom ...you will have the tallest son-in-law!!!)
ZODIAC: Scorpio (Our Zodiacs match!!)
QualificationsHe may not be a Science student BUT that's because he served his country!!
*glares at fellow friends on GR: Shhh...His true profession will remain a secret*
He was theALPHA Loyal Soldier of the Queen's Army
Nationality Again it doesn't matter mom...I love him
I don't know much about his culture BUT you yourself said...that if I ever love a boy...It should be because of his heart & personality NOT nationality, caste or religion
He might be a Lunar BUT he will settle with us!!
Think this way: I won't have to go away from you!!
Wolf & I will buy a small house close to yours!!
FamilyHad a brother...He...Ummm...He is no more
His MOM is someone whom I look up to
Her name was Maha Kesley..
We have decided to name our future daughter after her...Of course, we will keep your name as her middle name!!
Hogwarts house: HUFFLEPUFF!!!!!*dances*
Didn't you advise me that if ever given a choice I should go for a Hufflepuff boy??!!
Guess what??!! WOLF IS A HUFFLEPUFF!!!
He will be the perfect calm to my Gryffindor self
But the most important thing is...I LOVE HIM
With all my heart
He will be the only one for me
I believe in our Love
Now it's your job to go and tell Dad
I know Dad will love him!!
You ALL will love him!!
He even eats all the vegetables!!!
You won't have to worry if dad & I get picky while eating our vegetables!!
He will eat every single of them!!!
Sooo I hope you like him
Love,
Mrin
If you guys read the entire review hats off to you!!

"“I know.� A flicker of kindness passed over him and he pointed at his temple. “You’ll want to aim for the head. That usually makes for a fatal shot. Or, if you’re feeling shaky, the torso. It’s a larger target.�
“Your head looks pretty big from here.�
Wolf telling Scar to aim for his torso is probably the sexiest thing I have read🤩
(I have gone crazy over Wolf!!)"

"“I should have told you sooner.�
“Yes, you should have.� She tilted her head, temple to temple. “But I still don’t despise you.� She swept a kiss against his cheek and felt his body lock up. His heartbeat thundered against her wrist as she clasped her hands together.
These two are so cheesy😂
But then I am like...even I am cheesy😅

"It's 2:15 here & I am still reading this book
Got to the part of Wolf's betrayal
I remember the first time reading this& crying at this part
I was Angry & sad at the same time
Exactly how Scarlet felt & was hell-bent on destroying Wolf😂
I remember thinking, "If I can love him with this intensity. I can hate him with the same intensity"*facepalms* I was riled up & wanted to destroy Wolf😅"
