Yeah I really don’t know about this one… 😭 tempted to give up but this book was a gift (love u will) and I am in my “finishing books I start” era because I’m half-convinced my DNFs are mostly due to a lack of willpower and not because the books are boring but this is really testing that theory 😬

I don’t know how I feel about this book. In some ways I feel weird reading it because I am so aware it is a Korean book translated in English and my subconscious tries to figure out what the original might say as I’m reading… I don’t know if I like that. Also it feels like a book that’s so close to getting to the heart of something deep and meaningful but it’s not quite getting there…
