Drink some Alka-Seltzer and order some greasy food, because this hangover is destroying you. This isn't your usual alcohol-induced hangover, however. This is much much worse. This is a book hangover. You might not be vomiting and trying to piece together memories of the night before, but you are now losing touch with reality. Who are you supposed to hang out with now that you've lost your fictional besties? Are you just supposed to go back to the mundane world? Go back to work? Just go and do your silly little job like the half-Fae princess you fell in love with didn't just disappear into a mysterious void of nothingness never to be seen again? Who even are these people you work right next to every day? They sure aren't the demon dog caretakers you've been living your life with every single night after each chapter you finished. The only cure for a book hangover is to start reading something new. Why not start with these very relatable memes as a palate cleanser before you dive into that 15-book series?
