Aunque aprecio las intenciones de la autora, creo que el mensaje que acaba dando el libro es que si eres diferente (tienes alguna discapacidad, condición o trastorno mental) la única forma en la que puedes vivir normalmente es si te “curas” o cambias completamente.
Sin embargo, es una historia corta y emotiva muy hermosa que habla también de las condiciones en las que crecen las infancias y adolescencias y cómo estas pueden influenciarlas y transformarlas para bien o para mal.
No soy buena poniendo en palabras mis pensamientos por lo que se podría malentender esta reseña, tal vez la modificaré en el futuro pero quería dejar una huella de mis pensamientos recién acabado el libro.

Yunjae is an amazing character to read. I loved how the author made me feel so many emotions through a teenage boy who doesn't feel them. It was sometimes brutal and almost unbearable, other times sweet and funny.
Special mention to the final notes - I love reading Author's notes and Translator's notes, they feel like a peek behind the scenes of creativity and the world behind the book. Specially the Translator's ones, for someone reading in english (not my native language), it's always interesting to read them.
