 I'm so sick of love stories where the dude is a total creep and it's just fine because it's all for true love and it all gets glossed over or ignored. Florentino Ariza is a teenage obsessive creep who ends up being a super creep for his whole life obsessed with his lost "love" Fermina Daza. From a writing stand point the book was well done and it was interesting to hear a book in this time and location, but I can't get over how fucking creepy Florentino Ariza is.
