Aunque aprecio las intenciones de la autora, creo que el mensaje que acaba dando el libro es que si eres diferente (tienes alguna discapacidad, condición o trastorno mental) la única forma en la que puedes vivir normalmente es si te “curas” o cambias completamente.
Sin embargo, es una historia corta y emotiva muy hermosa que habla también de las condiciones en las que crecen las infancias y adolescencias y cómo estas pueden influenciarlas y transformarlas para bien o para mal.
No soy buena poniendo en palabras mis pensamientos por lo que se podría malentender esta reseña, tal vez la modificaré en el futuro pero quería dejar una huella de mis pensamientos recién acabado el libro.

the writing style reflects each of the characters so well, it's amazing. i can feel how yunjae must feel. the idea of him having the vocabulary for feelings but not actually having the feelings themselves, was conveyed perfectly, and so was the reverse for gon. and god, the relationship between his mother and grandmother is just so mwah.
my only issue (idk if it can actually be called that) was: dude, the homoerotic subtext between gon and yunjae! it was right there. i really liked dora, but there was no straight plotline necessary. but anyways, we move. (i've never felt more validated in my life than when i read the translator's note where she said she thought the same).

My only problem is that the ending seemed to come a little quickly? The build up to that momet is obvious but it reads like it happened suddenly. Other than that , read the story yourself and see if it brings out anything in you.
