Only the Ring Finger Knows: The Lonely Ring Finger by Satoru Kannagi
4.0
(4/5 ☆)
I remember reading this novel for the first time around 2012-2013. Back then I was just getting into the world of BL novels/mangas and this novel had the privilege of being the first I read in this genre.
I discovered the novel shortly after reading the manga. I had liked the story so much that I might know if it had a sequel and looking for it was how I discovered the novels.
What I liked about this novel is how it is written. Use a delicate and simple narrative to describe the relationship between two boys in school years without making it cloying. How does this progress, from the realization of their feelings until they finally become a couple. I liked how the author emphasized the issue of feelings, which are important especially at this stage, describing them in a natural way without making them look over-exaggerated and how important it is to express them.
In conclusion, I have loved this novel like the first time I read it. Reading it for the second time has made me notice details that I missed when I read it for the first time and that made the experience totally different.
