I do not annotate books, and yet I found myself underlining the many philosophical thoughts and conclusions of the characters. Maybe it's because I find myself, a new bookseller, finding healing at my own crossroad of life that I give this book five stars. Bo-Reum beautifully captured the healing power of not only literature, but also slowing down and taking steps to not measure yourself against the yard stick of society.
