Well well well. When I’d seen that RM had read and recommended this book, I knew I had to read it ✨ I found a copy in Busan and picked it up right away!
I was not expecting the level of sadness and violence that came through in this; I will include the content warnings below.
Yunjae was so lovable from the start; lost, yes, but certainly not the nasty names everyone else called him. I also began to develop such a soft spot for Gon too, because he was seriously struggling! 🥲
I cried towards the end of the book. There were angry tears, happy tears and sad tears too 🫠
4.5 out of 5 stars for me ✨ Thank you!
