Ein schönes Buch über das Leben eines schwulen Mannes in den Zwanzigern in Südkorea. Es beleuchtet dabei Themen wie Freundschaft und Liebe - ohne allzu kitschig zu werden.

Das Buch beleuchtet dabei die Schwierigkeiten von Menschen, die mit HIV infiziert sind. Es zeigt auf, wie viele Chancen ihnen trotz der Medikamenten entgehen.

I’m surprised how low the rating is. I think this is my best underrated book of the year so far. I loved Park’s writing, the characters were hilarious and the emotions brought a little mist in my eyes.
