I'm Waiting for You and Other Stories by Kim Bo-young

snootynerds's review against another edition

The two “I’m waiting for you” short stories were amazing but the middle stories made me dissociative very heavily so didn’t read them

challenging dark emotional sad tense

2.0

The sci-fi romance story was haunting. These two bookend stories were written from his and her perspectives, which combined to become one story. 
I skipped the middle stories entirely due to

gore and too much focus on death.

These stories are beautifully written and translated. I fell in love with the characters immediately and was invested in every step of their journeys. I already want to read it again.
