Firstly, I thought the compilation of these short story is a transformation from real events which the writer have been through. Turns out it is a fictional story😂


I love her writing style! Just what she said, Inkling is a metaphor type of writing. The way she write Inkling, just the kind of book I would love to read/write. Also, Inkling makes me 'thinking' after each short story and thats what I love, my brain is working😂 the story is not just end there but there are more. Stories are relatable and heart warming but sometimes its sad😌✊

Just what I said, I thought the story based on real event, so.. While reading I been asking about how many times do you been through breaking up, or some rejection and feel pity for her. But then, it is fiction!😆 but still SO SO realistic.

I am amazed about her imaginary story. Like wow, brilliant! Its a suprisingly relatable eventhought most of the story are very fiction style.
If you want something new, this is it.


Definitely gonna re-read Inkling again when:
🌻Im feeling down
🌻Reading slump


All short stories are special but here some of short story (my fav😙) and the quote-

1. Sev & The Hot Chocolate
"Time taught me that some hearts are to be given and not together"

2. Toffee Spills
"...that silence by Him is not always a nod of approval, it's a chance for us to reflect and judge the things we already know by heart"

3. Hearbreak Hotel [the whole line is masterpiece]
"Guilt us sharper than glass, I hear"

4. Desert Boy, Ocean Girl
"The fact that her son's broken doesn't mean the other person in the relationship is completely at fault"
