My new favorite book! If I could, I’d give it more than five stars.

The story is so beautiful and unique, and the romance between Sunho and Ren is perfect. Ren isn’t my favorite character in the book, though; she feels surprisingly childish for a girl her age. However, she grows a lot in the story, and by the end, she’s choosing paths that aren’t just going to end in her own happiness. She becomes more selfless and confident in herself.

Sunho is the best character, and no one can change my mind. He’s amazingly kind and despite his “im all alone and I can’t care for anyone” attitude, he’s such a softie 😭 I love him. So. Much. He needs a serious hug.

 I never thought I’d love a book more than “The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea” (my favorite book for a long time) but I guess it’s possible, because “The Floating World” has taken its place. So, so excited for the next book.
