Honestly, there's so many parts of this book that I'm absolutely infatuated with. I loved reading the story and everything, but there's also a small part of me that can't write this higher than a three star just because of all the small parts and small details that I kind of missed and didn't really grasp or understand while reading this story. Literally though the ending and Noa dying like I can't like the way that he ended his life like he like that. Just breaks my heart knowing that he rather essentially does all this and puts himself through all this pain instead of just learning it, learning how to live with it and then moving past it like OMG. Like his kids and his wife will forever think that he is Japanese. Like they are never understand the true culture that they actually have and if they did like say like down the road with an older and they want to know more about their life or like maybe their kids want to know more about their grandfather and about the war and they look up information and then they put one two together and they find out that he's Korean like I just wanted. I want another story or just like a little synopsis of like what happened to his kids. I wish we would have touched bases a little bit more on that and I think that's probably one reason why I didn't write it more than three stars. But yeah!
