Absolutely blew through this book, it had me hooked immediately. Loved the MC and how we were shown his thought process, life choices and growth journey. This book made me think, I felt very attached to multiple characters for various reasons throughout the whole book. This book made me feel emotional in a new way and was very thought provoking, it beautifully written but still a fast and captivating read.

This book was a little ableist buuuuuut it still kept me on the edge of my seat. I was constantly worried for the main character and the writing was very pleasant. It is pretty graphic with the violence but I understood why it was so explicit.

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.

I loved this book. I read it because it's recommended by 방탄소년단 members. This book is easy to follow but its a lot to unpack as you go, so I listened to it slightly slower than I normally consume audiobooks. (Still in one sitting but at 2x instead of 2.5 or 3) It's very well translated and narrated.
The only thing that keeps it from getting 5☆ is that I dont love the ending. It felt kind of off and too sweet after everything.
Would definitely recommend.
