emotional reflective sad fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I feel bad saying this knowing that a lot of people love the book but man the male characters in Dostoevsky's books are insufferable.

Yeah short cute story ig about unrequited love.
Reads like what some of my exs/ flings would write down. Incel misunderstood boy talks to underage girl, falls in love gets a tiny bit of hope and is finally left dry.... idk what more to say...

I know I should look at it anachronistically, but I'm reading for my own pleasure, not to write essays or a paper on literature , so yeah, I'll stear clear of Dostovesky for a while

devastating!! what is love!??

"You know, we thank some people for merely living at the same time as we do. I thank you for the fact that I met you, that I will remember you for all my life!'

“And how effortlessly, how naturally the dreamer’s world of fantasy springs up! It looks so real and not at all like a mirage! In fact, sometimes he almost believes that his dream life is no figment of the imagination, no self-deception, no delusion, but something real, actual, existing.”
