absolutely beautiful.
sweet and thoughtful and heartwarming and heartbreaking. a beautiful story about feelings and compassion and acceptance and society and being different and love. it puts into perspective all the moments we wish we had no feelings or could turn them off and shows us how complicated and confusing life is with no feelings, maybe even more so than with them.
stunning.

Fácil de leer, entretenido y absorbente. El personaje principal está muy bien escrito, y el resto de personajes que lo rodean y le ayudan a comprender las emociones humanas y a saber cómo tiene que sentirse en cada ocasión, complementan a la perfección la experiencia de Youngjae. En resumen, ligero, entretenido y curioso.

Szlochałam całą końcówkę. Ta książka jest wyjątkowa, od sposobu pisania, do tłumaczenia (które niestety jest przekładem z angielskiego, ale naprawdę dobrze się czyta. Niestety nie mam jak porównać z oryginałem), przez kreację bohaterów, po przedstawienie świata. Bardzo szybko się ją czyta, ale czasami zatrzymywałam się na chwilę, żeby się zastanowić i docenić jakieś zdanie.

Yunjae i Gon to cudowne postacie, autorka bardzo dobitnie pokazała ich emocje, tak naprawdę nazywając ich.

Zdecydowanie będzie w najlepszych książkach tego roku, o ile nie w ogóle wszystkich, jakie przeczytałam
