first of all, the motive behind this book is absolutely heartwarming and i am so in love with the characters. they were unique and seething with beauty and life. especially yunjae was deeply relatable for me, and i thought it was an absolute treat to explore his brain and how he perceives things. it was so nice to read about loss and feelings from an objective point of view.
i'm also a huge fan of short chapters, since they just keep me going, which this one undoubtedly did. the relationship dynamics were really nice as well, adventurous and new.
the only thing i didn't quite like was the love interest. her character is fine and has some depth, however yunjae falling for her so easily felt strangely out of character and i thought it ruined the idyll of his character a little bit. the love interest simply wasn't necessary in my opinion.
the ending totally made up for that though. it was soooo sad and satisfying. such a gracious book.
:) my fav quote:
so i don't know why people laugh or cry. joy, sorrow, love, fear—all these things are vague ideas to me. the words "emotion" and "empathy" are just meaningless letters in print.

Overall it is a light read with a beautiful reflection at the end I think everyone should remember once in a while.
It can be too cliché, but I personally found it quite refreshing to read something so idealistic, and that eventually might rely on miracles.
There are times when I need miracles and just for love to surround everything and make everything lighter and just, safe.
Would not recommend if you are looking for a tragic, dark book, because then it might be disappointing.
This book is simply nice and made my heart rejoice with happiness and hope. <3
