The second I started this book right away I was oh this is so me. Had me kicking my feet like a little girl, but she never asked for my man's name, not even once. Sad.
2.5/5
At the end of the day, I really am a bitter old hater.

Dostoevsky lezen bij het aanschuiven in Bellewaerde, call me sophisticated :p
Dit kortverhaal gaat kortweg over gefriendzoned worden, valid. Maar met alle respect ik kan echt geen classics lezen voor mijn plezier want ze zijn stuk voor stuk even saai

Upon finishing the book, I initially thought of giving it less stars because I felt something incomplete in my reading experience. Funnily enough, I realized that the different aspects of the book show what it’s like going through limerence and in emulating such a fleeting connection. The protagonist shares a long background of himself in a slow attempt to deepen bonds with Nastenka, only for him to suffer an unfortunate fate of being “friend zoned.” And so the story just ends all of a sudden the same way the protagonist is left with nothing after all that he has hoped for. Yes, how crazy limerence is.
Οι ονειροπολήσεις, αν και σημαντικές ως ένα βαθμό, δεν αρκούν όταν δεν μπορούν να καθρεφτιστούν στον ρεαλισμό της πραγματικότητας. Μόνο από εκεί μπορεί να προκύψει η αίσθηση της πληρότητας και, επομένως, η ουσιαστική ευτυχία. Ένα μικρό βιβλίο που μεταφέρει αυτό το μήνυμα, μαζί με αρκετά ακόμη, και επιβεβαιώνει, για μια ακόμη φορά, ότι ο Ντοστογιέφσκι δεν απογοητεύει ποτέ στην εξερεύνηση του ανθρώπινου ψυχισμού, πλέκοντας τους ιστούς των ψυχών των χαρακτήρων του με απίστευτη οξυδέρκεια και συναισθηματικό βάθος.
changes my brain chemistry, I fear. I don’t think I’ve ever identified so much with a book character as I have with the main character of „White nights”, broke my heart in more ways than one.
