heaven

recommended for: juhoon

why they might enjoy it:
juhoon loves to read, and when he finished the book, he felt a great emptiness and happiness at the same time because he had never read anything like it before. it's quite a powerful novel, but i feel it has a very special sensitivity. it speaks of loneliness, of finding someone who understands you, and of how even the smallest conversations can mean so much to a person.

content note: severe bullying, physical violence, suicidal ideation
