I was hesitant to read this because it's literary fiction, which I usually have a hard time reading, but I wanted to give it a try because it was recommended to me. I'm glad I did! I surprisingly loved the characters and their character development was great. I didn't fully understand all the things that were going on with Yunjae and his brain, but that didn't stop the impact of the story. The book is fast-paced and obviously very character-oriented, which I think worked well for this book. I do recommend checking this one out.

I really enjoyed the premise of the book (focusing on the life of someone with alexithymia) and I thought the writing was quite good.
my biggest issue was the plot, it seems to end really out of character and random - I do wonder if that's because oh who is narrating, it made it come off odd.
there was also a lot of violence that I did not expect...
