Yunjae is stronger than me because if I had a school bully cussing me out and using me as a punching bag, I would've been out of there. Yet, I weirdly ended up liking Gon and Yunjae's relationship. They were supposed to be endgame fr. 

People said there was no way to understand Gon. I didn't agree with them. It's just that nobody ever tried to see through him.

Everything we'd experienced together, was it truly real? 

Somebody shook my shoulders. Gon was hugging me in his arms.

I stared at the period after 'Truly' for a long time. I hoped that period could transform Gon's life. Would we ever meet again? I hoped so. Truly.

LIKE WHAT THE FAWK 💔💔💔

Honestamente fue un libro muy superficial, todos los temas que tocó a penas los rozó, ni siquiera el personaje principal estuvo bien desarrollado. Todas las problemáticas se me hicieron demasiado forzadas y

el hecho de que la mamá se recuperara por completo del coma me pareció algo incrédulo. También que por ser apuñalado o ser víctima de demasiado dolor pudiera desarrollar sentimientos sin ninguna explicación; el interés amoroso también se me hizo ridículo, apareció de la nada, disque se besaron y volvió a desaparecer.

Sorprendentemente se me hizo una explicación lógica que

sus "almendras" crecieran porque él estaba creciendo pero no me terminó de satisfacer que todo ocurriera de golpe (jaja)

No lo volvería a leer, ni siquiera lo hubiera leído si no fuera por mi club de libro pero gracias al mismo club me he dado la oportunidad de reflexionar más de lo poco que ofrece esta lectura.

The book is written in a very direct way but with a detached voice that really reflects the way the mc sees himself and his place in the world. i think this straightforward tone can make the book seem simple, like a typical coming of age about misfit teens, but if you think of it more like a character study and keep in mind that the mc is still a child and his views are largely informed by the way he was raised, it opens it up to deeper interpretations. Overall and very profound and interesting story about simple parts of life.
