i wanted this to be remarkable, truly. it only made me grieve for the children of palestine who will never grow old, the parents who will never write a book after gazing at their newborn baby.
is this how life will always be? this intense despair and rage at the lives so viciously stolen? the unfathomable disdain for anyone who can think of anything else, who can write about anything else?

“Am I”, she whispered, “qualified to be in your story now?”
I have no idea how to put it into words but I really liked this book. Such an interesting and cute look into how emotions work.

Despite Yunjae’s inability to emote and react due to his brain condition, his narrative is very much human unlike the unkind words and perceptions of him from his peers. We see this young boy use questions and phrases to describe the feelings he does not technically feel nor understand, especially as he grows older, that is difficult for even very emotional beings to describe. It was touching to recognize the growth of emotions within him and him realizing as the story progresses and much more towards the bittersweet end.

Lo encontré una lectura ligera y rápida, entretenido para pasar el tiempo. Los personajes me parecieron muy entrañables, y aunque quedé medio descolocada con la dirección que tomó al final me gustó la reflexión que quedó en el aire a partir de la relación entre Youngjae y Goni.
