There is no such person who can't be saved. There are only people who give up trying to save others.

I didn't know what to expect from this book, but as I read it, its narrative style wrinkles your heart while also embracing it. It's a short and quick read, but, in my opinion, unmissable.

Amé mucho este libro.
Eso es todo, es que ahhh, ¿cómo lo explico?
Creo que es un poco paradójico que un libro cuyo protagonista no puede sentir emociones me haya hecho sentir tantas cosas mientras lo leí, pero me encanta que así haya sido. Aunque hubo partes crudas y duras de leer, también hubo muchas otras que llenaron mi corazoncito. La narración me pareció bellísima, y me encantó que los capítulos fueran cortos, eso volvió todavía más ágil la lectura de este libro. Me encantó la dinámica de la relación de Yunjae y Goni, qué bonito todo.
En fin, agradezco la coincidencia que me llevo a leer este libro (aka "Namjoon y Yoongi leyendo este libro en BTS In the soop" JAJAJA).
