Famous Books Main Characters Quiz — BuzzFeed Quizzes
Hey, fellow readers — welcome to class. Today, we're diving into the topic of protagonists. And yes, I know you probably remember this from English class — but just in case it's been a minute (it definitely has for me), here's a quick refresher: A protagonist is basically the main character of a story. It's the person the plot revolves around. Sometimes it gets a little tricky, like when the protagonist isn't the narrator. For example, in The Great Gatsby, Nick Carraway is telling the story, but the book centers around Jay Gatsby's life. That makes Jay Gatsby the protagonist. So, to make it simple, who is the story about? Who would you call the main character? The character that comes to mind is usually the protagonist. So, speaking of well do you actually know the books 'everyone' has read (or at least watched the movie version of)? Here's how this works: I'll give you the name of a main character, and you'll try to match them to their famous book. Sound good? Let's do this. How'd you do? Drop your score in the comments! And since we're talking about books 'everyone's read,' tell me: What's your hidden gem? That one book that you're distraught that not everyone has read? For me, it's The Paper Palace by Miranda Cowley Heller. The poetic prose of this novel is breathtaking, and although it's a drama, it had me on the edge of my seat like a thriller. I've gifted it to almost everyone I know. I'm obsessed. So…what's your Paper Palace book? Tell me in the comments. I also can never shut up about Sylvia Plath.

TikTok Made Me Do It: Soccer Jersey Outfits To Try Now
European soccer dominated sports bars and Instagram feeds this summer — especially with the Lionesses ' UEFA cup win and women's soccer gaining more global momentum. Add in some major pop culture tie-ins (Ted Lasso' s fourth season announcement focusing on a women's team, and a rumored Bend It Like Beckham sequel), and it's no surprise the soccer aesthetic is hitting harder than ever. Adidas mini track shorts (recently worn by Zoë Kravitz and more fashion It girls) also just landed on Lyst Index's Q2 hottest products list. Plus, cleats (spotted on Rosalía) are popping up as an unexpected streetwear choice, according to Style Analytics. But TikTok has crowned the ultimate summer MVP of the sporty trend: the soccer jersey. I first noticed the look while scrolling on Pinterest and TikTok — girls styling soccer jerseys for more than just game day. Then I started spotting them IRL across NYC, worn to brunch, drinks, and just about everything in between. As someone who grew up watching and playing soccer, the resurgence made me nostalgic and sartorially intrigued. Ahead, see how I styled a few jerseys for everyday settings, from casual errands to the office and even nights out. And no, these jerseys aren't tied to specific teams or players — they're pieces I picked up from my favorite retailers, like Urban Outfitters and Old Navy. Think: less fandom, more athletics-chic.
