A review by anastasiarozova
First Love by Ivan Turgenev
3.0
3.25/5
*Read for class.
I liked it enough to read it fast and actually enjoy it, but I don't usually appreciate stories about love that causes me to feel pity. He was pityful in his love, and I felt sorry for him and resented her for acting the way she was. It reminded me of "Smoke" a little bit, one of the few Turgenev's novels I didn't really like that much. But this one was shorter and thus didn't bother me that much.
