This book made me cry in the ending pages, and while I don't let myself cry often, it's usually a sign of a pretty good book.

Well well well. When I’d seen that RM had read and recommended this book, I knew I had to read it ✨ I found a copy in Busan and picked it up right away! 

I was not expecting the level of sadness and violence that came through in this; I will include the content warnings below.

Yunjae was so lovable from the start; lost, yes, but certainly not the nasty names everyone else called him.
I also began to develop such a soft spot for Gon too, because he was seriously struggling! 🥲
I cried towards the end of the book. There were angry tears, happy tears and sad tears too 🫠
I also ADORED Dora and Yunjae’s mum, they were such positive figures for me ❤️

4.5 out of 5 stars for me ✨ Thank you!

ילד לומד לאהוב 
ילד לומד לשנוא
ילד להשמיד את האנושות

הכתיבה לא הייתה חדה או חודרת והרגשתי שזה יכל להיות סיפור קצר במקום ספר
