First time reading Dostoevsky. white nights was... Fairly interesting. And devastatingly sad. The main character's feelings are somewhat relatable. I feel him.

Book that broke my heart, but I forgive her.
It's about love, hope, selfishness and loneliness. So much loneliness.

And I hate you Nastenka. So much.
