I was hesitant to read this because it's literary fiction, which I usually have a hard time reading, but I wanted to give it a try because it was recommended to me. I'm glad I did! I surprisingly loved the characters and their character development was great. I didn't fully understand all the things that were going on with Yunjae and his brain, but that didn't stop the impact of the story. The book is fast-paced and obviously very character-oriented, which I think worked well for this book. I do recommend checking this one out.

Really digestible and the perfect length, the book and the chapters. The chapters are sometimes a little too short but it is all intentional and works really well for pacing. A coming of age story with some dark themes that is just quite lovely. 
When it boils down to it, it’s a book about human relationships and the way humans are shaped and moulded by those we surround ourselves with.
