Thought provoking read about outsiders and those who are different and about how human emotion impacts our experiences and how our experiences impact our paths in life. Easy to read due to very short chapters.
A bit graphic in places but it made sense with the storyline.

sometimes all you need is friendship that's also a little fruity.

What a beautiful book about the growth of Yungjae and his relationships with the people around him. His obvious feelings for people despite being told he’s unable to. It’s written so beautifully, and is such a tender exploration of love, pain and sacrifice and growth in children. Would recommend this to everyone. You fly through it it is so quick.

Cute book about a boy with the most petite amygdala you've ever seen. This was a fun read and a great piece of Asian literature in that it was like so depressing at every turn, at least in the beginning. I thought the vibe of it was great. I was just unsatisfied with the way the book resolved. Some moments of hope were cute but I don't like that we solved his neurological abnormality with friendship.
Weird that I was simultaneously reading 2 different books about someone pretending to be another person's son in a hospital but that's how it is sometimes.

Love ruins everything and this book is no exception.
Up until the third part the story was great and kept the suspense going but after Dora appeared everything came crashing down. She served no actual purpose to the story and her character lacked depth. The main character was “cured” and became normal even though the whole point of this book was to show how a person, who's seen as different, operates in the real world. I wanted to read about that, not some “love can fix everything” bullshit.
The book had short chapters and the writing style was simple, maybe too simple to actually enjoy.
It was like an old book from the main characters used-book store. Written to be left forgotten, containing repetitive phrases, meaningless words.
Still pretty good though if you want a chill and easy read
