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.

WHAT IN THE EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER WAS THAT 🧍🏻🏃🏻😭 (the last several chapters were making me SWEAT, I WAS SCARED). Yunjae and Gon have my whole heart <3 I absolutely adored their character development, especially Gon's emotional side. And I loved the short chapter format, it was very enjoyable to read.

On another note, this book made me feel seen on a level I didn't think was possible. As an autistic person who struggles with understanding and expressing emotions (is it alexithymia? We never know)... I understood and related to Yunjae. I don't know what else to say, just... This book will remain ingrained in my mind for a very very long time. Thank you.
