This is easily one of the most unique story lines I’ve read in a long time. It also completely drew me in. There were a couple things that seemed a little unrealistic to me, and it was enough to have me surprised about where the story was headed, which is really the only thing keeping this from a 5 star rating. Very intriguing with lots of one-liners that get you thinking. I loved it.

Eine berührende Geschichte über einen Jungen, dessen Wahrnehmung von Gefühlen stark eingeschränkt ist. Ich musste beim Lesen ein paar Mal schwer schlucken und habe mir viele Fragen gestellt. In den kommenden Tagen werde ich bestimmt auch noch weiter über Yunjaes Gedanken und Beziehungen, seine Familie, den Professor und seine Freundschaften nachdenken. Das Buch ist super geschrieben und wird mir bestimmt lange im Gedächtnis bleiben. 🩷
Und dieses Coverdesign hat einen extra Stern verdient!

I liked reading this book, and I thought it was satisfying, but I’m just not sure how memorable it will be which is why I withheld a star. I really loved Yunjae as a protagonist and hearing the story through his detached voice was a unique experience.
