Yunjae is stronger than me because if I had a school bully cussing me out and using me as a punching bag, I would've been out of there. Yet, I weirdly ended up liking Gon and Yunjae's relationship. They were supposed to be endgame fr. 

People said there was no way to understand Gon. I didn't agree with them. It's just that nobody ever tried to see through him.

Everything we'd experienced together, was it truly real? 

Somebody shook my shoulders. Gon was hugging me in his arms.

I stared at the period after 'Truly' for a long time. I hoped that period could transform Gon's life. Would we ever meet again? I hoped so. Truly.

LIKE WHAT THE FAWK 💔💔💔

This book made me cry in the ending pages, and while I don't let myself cry often, it's usually a sign of a pretty good book.

Well well well. When I’d seen that RM had read and recommended this book, I knew I had to read it ✨ I found a copy in Busan and picked it up right away! 

I was not expecting the level of sadness and violence that came through in this; I will include the content warnings below.

Yunjae was so lovable from the start; lost, yes, but certainly not the nasty names everyone else called him.
I also began to develop such a soft spot for Gon too, because he was seriously struggling! 🥲
I cried towards the end of the book. There were angry tears, happy tears and sad tears too 🫠
I also ADORED Dora and Yunjae’s mum, they were such positive figures for me ❤️

4.5 out of 5 stars for me ✨ Thank you!

ילד לומד לאהוב 
ילד לומד לשנוא
ילד להשמיד את האנושות

הכתיבה לא הייתה חדה או חודרת והרגשתי שזה יכל להיות סיפור קצר במקום ספר
