I don't even know how to explain how in love I'm with this book. It's my first time reading a Korean writer and she didn't disappoint me at all. So easy to read and such a lovely story that keeps your emotions alive. It is amazing how this story makes you feel so much when Yunjae, our protagonist, was born with Alexithymia (a brain condition that makes hard for him to feel emotions).

This book was really only enjoyable for me towards the end, but even then I did not particularly like the ending. I think this book is good for some people and I somewhat understand how it became so popular, although I have to say it was not meant for me.
