the writting grabbed me in a way that it hasn’t happened since i was a teenager. i just had to know what happened next, you could feel yunjae devolpments in each page you read and because of that i couldn’t stop

the thing is this book is incredible if you take out the alexithimia part as it’s incredibly poorly portrayed, which is a shame considering that’s the main “thing” surroding the book.  it just feels like the author never researched what alexithimia even is

This book is a gross misrepresentation of the condition Alexithymia and misrepresentation of conditions can be a harmful thing to people.

This book is so sweet and heartwarming. I had heard good reviews on this book and I am so glad I read it as I had never read a book such as this before. I love how it is fast paced and is written in short chapters. Beautifully translated, did not lose its meaning.

the ending is a bit too perfect, but it is a young adult book. The violent scene with Gon came out of nowhere also, but I am glad his mother woke up to see him evolved as she always wanted him to be

This book made me cry in the ending pages, and while I don't let myself cry often, it's usually a sign of a pretty good book.
