I picked up this book to fulfill prompts for two different reading challenges, and I ended up liking it more than I initially thought I would. There were some beautifully descriptive passages and insights into life that I enjoyed. But I can't get behind the idea that killing yourself is an expression of love. This also may not have been a good time in my life for this particular book; I recently had a son and spent a lot of time thinking, I hope he doesn't turn out like this guy.

"I have so much in me, and the feeling for her absorbs it all; I have so much, and without her it all comes to nothing."

Holy crap, this was so melodramatic. I loved it. I didn't event expect to love it. I thought it would just be something that I had always meant to read just cause it's short. But nope. It was so over the top that it was actually really fun. Basically, Werther falls in love with this woman and she friendzones him hard and marries his friend but he continues to delude himself with hope until his despair over it is pretty all consuming. You know how people say that women are too emotional to run things? I want to just hand those people a copy of this book.
