This was a good audiobook, if you choose to listen. I thought the balance and dynamic between one character who has extreme emotions with one that feels nothing was interesting. The ending was nice and wrapped any loose ends. I loved the almond symbolism and candy (that specific one mentioned) metaphor throughout, it fit the story quite well. I wanted to see more of Dora (sp? again, audiobook) and Yunjae's friendship. Seeing some other reviews, I would've liked to hear the translator's notes because it sounds like it had an impact. I loved the translation as it was simple, yet emotional.
