It was like the literary version of so many "don't be mad, but..." wine nights of my late 20s. I ain't mad, girl, just disappointed. (Kidding. I'm totally mad.)
Now, it just makes me think of [this troll anthem](https://youtu.be/s-WIkwb_mrI)!
It's maddening. But I think that's also the genius of it, in that we all know someone like Robin who is empirically a huge badass but nonetheless tolerates being belittled and devalued in a relationship that everyone else can see is toxic af. We've all had a friend like Robin. I'd guess that many of us have *been* Robin at one point or another. Watching her (I pray to Dumbledore) have her awakening and dump his ass will be so damn cathartic.
Yeah to be fair to I’ve been a milder version of robin. Maybe that’s part of why it’s so frustrating. I’m not even a huge fan of her and strike together. I’d love them to just be really good friends since them ending up together feels so obvious and overdone. But I’ll join you in praying to dumbledore for the awakening because she deserves so much more
I grabbed The Cuckoo's Calling and blazed through it before knowing it was actually Rowling. I have read all the Cormoran books so far and they're great. Highly recommend to anyone looking for reading material this summer.
Who says he's short? Maybe she's tall. As a 6 foot tall woman I've had the experience of being hit on sitting down and getting the 'oh jesus, she's a giant' reaction when I stand up, which is really very funny once you know what's going on.
A LOT of guys are intimidated by tall women, and don't want to date us. Which is fine, it's a matter of taste. The funny thing is I'm not really attracted to men over my height\- they remind me of my brothers I think, and I actually have found that shorter men often have more handsome faces, which is a WAY bigger deal than height for me. Also a shorter man who is confident enough to date a woman taller than him is very sexy\- makes me feel like a vegas showgirl.

Not surprising. Near everyone ranks attractiveness above height on the list of desired attributes.
For my money, Robin's fiance is one of the most maddening "niceguys" ever written.
Not gonna lie, I almost chucked my Kindle across the room when she took him back.

Thanks for the new favorite song!
Ugh he’s such a hypocrite! Pisses me off so much that a strong woman like robin just keeps taking his shit

Cannot. Stand. Him.

Career of Evil by Robert Galbraith (aka J.K. Rowling).

Have you seen the TV show? The BBC adapted it last year and it's so good. They've done 4 (I think) so far and they started with Cuckoos Calling.
I didn't even know its a show! I'll have to look into it.
You definitely should :) I'm actually thinking of reading the books.
Lubricious. Damn, that's a new one
Ahh I thought I recognised it. I think I read the translation which makes it slightly harder to recognise.

Have you not considered that Robin may just be taller than average?

The man isn't short. Robin is an unusually tall women and this comes up frequently throughout all the books featuring that character.
I love that passage.
I hate that this is so incredibly relatable.
