'Quaintrelle's Meraki' is the side effect of an eighteen year old girl's passion for words and verses. In this book she expressed her emotions she felt and experiences she'd been through and those around her just with a tinge of imagination and hyperbole. Divided into seven chapters and each serves for the different stages of her life and the phases she evolved in. This work majorly revolves around the teenage limbo to which she quotes, "I thought when they were building their lives mine was falling apart. But that's not true. Everyone my age was feeling the same, everyone in their teenager felt the same, just with a different intensity and experience. And just know this, what you feel is not very different from what everyone does. If you're not normal at this age then it's completely normal. Even if you want it to be experimentally proven, here I am, there are our sisters, brothers, and parents who walked down the same lane in their time when the problems were less depressing. The parts I revealed in this book are the most vulnerable parts of me, something I wanted to hide, some are the secrets I hoped to take to my grave. It's the things I wished to bury in darkness, not something I wanted to shed light on. Nevertheless, I know if I do, at least one person in this world will feel a little less alone, less scared, less ashamed, and a little less guilty."
