I like this book’s perspective on the human brain and its ability to change over time. I also like the very strong closure at the end of the book. However, I found it quite confusing at time, with lack of elaboration on a lot of aspects.

This story as a whole was great. It was extremely interesting to read about gon and yunjae and their relationship. Those two have completely different and opposing characters and despite struggling to show or even understand their own feelings, deeply care for each other. 
The last two parts felt a bit rushed compared to the other ones. It kinda undermines what the first parts build up and leaves me with some questions and holes (not really plot holes it would’ve been nice tho to get to know more about what happened, especially in part four)
All in all still a great book and recommendation!
