Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky
3.0

A heart warming love story of a boy, Rodya/Rodiom Romanovitch/Raskolnikov, a poor college student, and a girl, Sonia/Sonya/Sofya Semyonovna Marmeladov, from a tough back ground who will do anything to protect her little siblings, that overcome the odds heartless pawnbrokers, scheming soon-to-be in laws, and suspicious police detectives and fall in love and promise to wait for one another.

That or a batshit Russian believes he's Napolean and kills people then spends the rest of the book randomly yelling and constantly falling asleep while trying to avoid his guilt and some prostitute falls in love with him in the end.

But the first one sounds nicer.
