First Love by Ivan Turgenev
3.0

This was okay, but I didn't think it was great. The writing wasn't bad but I just wasn't hooked or anything. I wanted to know what would happen, but was also bored.

The end was kind of depressing but at the same time, it was the characters I didn't like who died. I almost liked both the father and the princess at some points, the father more at the beginning. By the end I couldn't stand him and thought she was okay, not horrible. I felt a little sorry for her death, at least.

I enjoyed learning how the characters lives turned out at the end, too.
