Baca ini tuh rasanya tenang tapi juga nyesek pelan-pelan. Ceritanya tentang Yunjae, seorang anak yang punya kondisi alexithymia, jadi dia tuh nggak bisa ngerasain emosi seperti orang lain. Awalnya aku mikir bakal datar, tapi justru di situlah kekuatannya. Kita justru diajak lihat gimana dunia terasa “asing” buat Yunjae, gimana ibunya ngajarin cara menghadapi hidup, sampai akhirnya tragedi datang dan dia harus bertahan sendirian. Yang bikin berkesan, lewat Yunjae kita belajar kalau rasa sakit, kehilangan, dan juga kasih sayang itu nggak melulu harus ditunjukkan dengan cara yang sama kayak orang lain. Novel ini sederhana, bahasanya nggak ribet, tapi pesannya dalem banget, tentang jadi manusia, tentang empati, dan tentang berani tumbuh meski dunia keras banget. Endingnya bikin lega, hangat, sekaligus bikin merenung lama setelah bukunya ditutup.

This was so beautiful in a way I can’t really describe because it’s also very tragic but this was such a fast read and I really enjoyed it
