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!

I came here because it was free on KU and I stayed because I saw that Yoongi read it during In the Soop. I thought the writing itself and the style was really spectacular. This book was short, and the chapters were short, which I liked. I enjoyed the writing and the characters, and I liked reading the book. However, I thought the ending was wrapped up too nicely and illogical.

What a quick read it was! Unusual for me.

I really liked it, it's quite an emotional heartbreaking story.

I cried during the last chapters. I did also tear up a couple of time before that. The development of the story and language that was used was so subtle at first, but so impactful.
