BOOKS

We've all been there: You're reading your new fave book, fully entrapped in the fictional world found only within its pages, invested in the lives of the characters that you *so* wish would magically come to life. Then, the sad realization that the characters you've been reading about are, in fact, purely fictional hits you—and you just wish there was a way these characters could pop out of the book and into reality.

Well, we hate to break it to you, but the chances of fictional characters becoming real people is *highly* unlikely. But we can see what their Instagram profiles might've looked like...

Belly Conklin from The Summer I Turned Pretty by Jenny Han

Belly's camera roll is full of pure summer vibes and memories with her besties (peep the pic of her and Jeremiah). She doesn't take herself too seriously, and her bubbly, sweet personality *always* shines through her candid photos.

Bronwyn Rojas from One of Us Is Lying by Karen M. McManus

True to herself, Bronwyn doesn't pay too much attention to social media and would rather spend her time wrapped up in a good book. Tbh, she probably forgets she even has an Instagram account. Nevertheless, Bronwyn will occasionally share moments in her life that are special to her, such as a picture of her and Nate, her S.O. 

Peter Kavinsky from To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han

Peter's Instagram is full of sports, pictures of himself and, ofc, his lovable S.O. Lara Jean Covey. He would definitely post about lacrosse frequently and maybe even show off a bit of what he can do on the field (in true Peter Kavinsky fashion). 

Ron Weasley from the Harry Potter series

Ron is always making jokes and remarks to those around him (often with sarcasm) and has a deep awareness of the magical world around him. If Ron had an Instagram account (let's make believe that Instagram exists in the Potterverse), he'd definitely use it to show off his sarcastic humor and perspective on the world around him through witty satirical quotes (like the one in his bio) and visually stunning snapshots of his fave places, including Hogwarts and Diagon Alley.

Natasha from The Sun is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon

Natasha is ambitious, smart and relies on her sense of logic to guide her. Her Instagram would be full of candid selfies, snapshots of her home (New York!) and images showcasing the beauty of space (specifically the stars). She'd use her platform to capture the beauty of the world around her, showing her unique perspective on life and her experiences.
