Ending was a little predictable but the premise of this book was unique and i love writing. Fast paced and intense. I remember this book was YA in 2017. I don’t think it should be.

The book follows the friendship of two boys, both affected by traumatic events, who are both lovable in their own very different ways. 

An easy and heartwarming but at times heartbreaking read that explores the struggles of feeling either nothing at all or feeling too deeply.

Great, fast read. Enjoyed characters and the struggle. Timeline was a little hard to follow.

Was worried it would be really tragic but the ending was so happy it was almost gooey.

La historia se vuelve poco realista hacia el final con acontecimientos del “poder de la amistad y el amor”, especialmente con yunjae

siendo curado, (o que nunca estuvo enfermo)

.

Aunque aprecio las intenciones de la autora, creo que el mensaje que acaba dando el libro es que si eres diferente (tienes alguna discapacidad, condición o trastorno mental) la única forma en la que puedes vivir normalmente es si te “curas” o cambias completamente.

Sin embargo, es una historia corta y emotiva muy hermosa que habla también de las condiciones en las que crecen las infancias y adolescencias y cómo estas pueden influenciarlas y transformarlas para bien o para mal.

No soy buena poniendo en palabras mis pensamientos por lo que se podría malentender esta reseña, tal vez la modificaré en el futuro pero quería dejar una huella de mis pensamientos recién acabado el libro.

I wouldn’t say “flaw” to what Yunjae is.
