First Love by Ivan Turgenev
5.0
emotional funny sad fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I personally am someone who gravitates towards non-fictions or historical reads, rarely do I pick up a romance… but I am glad that I did this time. First Love is written beautifully, I really enjoyed the way in which Turgenev is able to characterize love, and express it not just through the characters but through their environment as well. This text is beautifully written and was honestly a fun read, a good change of pace.
