This was a super solid book! I felt the author/translator really expressed the emotionless mind of Yunjae well through their writing and I really did feel for him. This book contained a lot more hard hitting topics than I initially had thought it would, but I really enjoyed that aspect of this book. We got to see Gon and Yunjae's relationship bloom, and how they both navigated being teenagers coming from tumultuous backgrounds.
