Heh, as, oh matter a fact I have.
Honestly a single reading wasn't enough for me to grasp it's the intricacies but I still got plenty out of it; mainly for me it was a neat period peice.

The main character you can't help but face palm over he's constantly spilling his spaghetti all over the place despite pretty much having it made.

Anything specific you want to know?

what's the book mainly about? from what i've read, it's some guy living in a forest and then he meets a girl, but is the majority of the book just how he lives, or is it him talking to the girl?
would it be a cosy book for reading while camping?

Maybe it's just my taste but I wouldn't call it cozy, try a young girls diary instead (no not Anne frank. It's a real diary of a girl growing up in middle upper class family in Vienna during around 1910-1915'ish that was latter given to Sigmund Freud but really that last bits hardly important.)

Any way as for pan you had the beginning of the plot down more or less but it pans (really not a intentional pun here) out into a story of them not being able to fully commit to each other because there spitefulness/stubborness, later on a third girl gets thrown into the mix.
A major theme is MC having a hard time into-ing society cause he's so used to living in the woods by him self.
I don't want to spoil the ending but I'll tell you it wanst a happy one.
