This book has destroyed me 😭
I literally started feeling as if a rock was hitting my chest in chapter 71/72 and I was sobbing A LOT. 
I loved it tho.

This was a good audiobook, if you choose to listen.  I thought the balance and dynamic between one character who has extreme emotions with one that feels nothing was interesting.  The ending was nice and wrapped any loose ends.  I loved the almond symbolism and candy (that specific one mentioned) metaphor throughout, it fit the story quite well.  I wanted to see more of Dora (sp? again, audiobook) and Yunjae's friendship.  Seeing some other reviews, I would've liked to hear the translator's notes because it sounds like it had an impact.  I loved the translation as it was simple, yet emotional.
