I was really intrigued by the disability in this one. I had never heard of it and don't know if the representation was accurate, but I am not to judge on that. It does seem the author did their research. This definitely wasn't an easy read, but being short, it was easier to get through. The ending was not as I hoped. The translation was done very well.

I always worry that when a novel is translated, it won’t embody the original text, especially with a narrator as unique as this one. My worries were unfounded this time around — there was an incredible display of emotion and vulnerability for a boy who struggles to feel.

I found myself crying at random parts. It made my chest ache but in a good way. Gon and Yunjae are very precious children and should be protected.
My only problem is that the ending seemed to come a little quickly? The build up to that momet is obvious but it reads like it happened suddenly. Other than that , read the story yourself and see if it brings out anything in you.
