Read this for uni. In the first half, I thought it was cute and wished someone would love me enough to write 108 sonnets. But as the speaker went on, I found myself put in the position of unwilling friend helping to comfort your bestie after unrequited love - suffice to say it became a tad repetitive, monotonous and and downright annoying. Good plot twist at the end though.
