az mam ochote na migdaly. koniec rozczarowujacy.

3.5☆

J'ai vraiment adoré (4.5☆) jusqu'à ce que j'arrive sur la fin du livre qui est, selon moi, plutôt décevante.

(Petit spoil quand même) La trope de l'amour est la solution à tout, le cœur est plus fort que le cerveau, même plus fort que la maladie est plutôt décevante. On ne "guérie" pas de l'alexithymie avec un peu d'amour et de l'eau fraîche.

J'ai aussi eu du mal à percevoir la réelle utilité du personnage de Dora ?

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I’ll be thinking about this story and these characters for months, if not years to come.

beautiful descriptions. i think it fell short by doing the whole ‘woah the power of friendship fixed you’ thing because as a narrator, yunjae was more interesting when he had his emotional/social difficulties. so much time is spent hammering in the fact that he has innate struggles that can’t be altered by his environment and then that just… vanishes. started strong and then got kind of boring at the end.

2.5/5 stars rounded up to 3.

Sometimes I feel like I don’t even know what I like reading anymore.
I’ve read books 3 times the length of this in a day while this took me more than a week yet I can’t tell what was wrong with it if you ask me.
Maybe not interesting enough or not seeing where it’s going are valid points? Maybe because I don’t care for coming of age/ya stories?
Maybe it’s an issue I have in general with literary fiction, not seeing the point of it all.

I don’t even know.

I’m confused, slightly annoyed that I didn’t get anything out of this except some good quotes and I’m pretty sure that this shouldn’t have been the outcome from a good read.
