I'm a hopeless romantic and very emotional person, and I hated this. Werther is such a whiny, bitter man, whose love for Charlotte is more like unhealthy obsession. Maybe it's partly because the audibook format didn't really work for this one, or maybe it's because I've never been in love myself - but this was just awful.
