5.0

The main character is lovable and with every page I wanted to find out more and more about his story and how it'll unfold. I also think the characters around him only added to this; they were all likeable and believable. As Yunjae goes through the events of the story, his lack of emotional response did not take away from how raw and impactful some of the events were and it reallt shed a light onto how important emotions are- and how sometimes they can be detrimental to us. I love how genuine the relationships he's formed feel and the ending was perfect too. This book reminded me a lot of the Korean drama "A Beautiful Mind"
