First Love by Ivan Turgenev
5.0
This story. Oh my goodness. There are so many things I could say, so many points I could make, but I feel that the only way to even come close to truly summarizing my feelings for First Love is to quote it itself,
"On going up to bed, I pirouetted round three times on one foot, I don't know why, greased my hair, lay down and spent the whole night dead to the world. Just before morning I awoke for an instant, raised my head, looked around me with excitement—and went back to sleep."
Only complaint is that the word "literally" was used nine times in fifty-nine pages which probably isn't a big deal but it always is to me. Still five stars, though.
