I have read many, many novels, and most of them never hit quite like this one did. Wu Zhe's writing style is very heart-warming, humorous, and light, yet deep and emotional at the same time. I must thank the translators for giving us a clean, very understandable translation because I never would've been able to read this without them.First off, the characters are written very well. Their emotions, conflicts, and feelings are very relatable. While reading, there were several times I found that I had experienced emotions similar to Jiang Cheng's. Their interactions are very realistic, so much that I could believe these characters were actual people telling their story.The setting is also very fun to read about, since it's something nearly everyone can relate to in some fashion. Everyone has been through school at some point in their lives, and it's refreshing to read about the exciting things like getting a first crush and all the chaotic moments with friends.Now, I must include how this novel is not all happy moments and fun. Seldom do I cry when reading a novel, but this novel has made me cry at least a couple times. Still, all of the sad moments and conflicts are part of why the novel is able to establish such a deep connection with you as you are reading through it.In conclusion, this is a phenomenal novel. It is and will forever be one of my all-time favorites, even beyond a few of MXTX and Priest's works, though they are both very skilled authors as well who I would definitely recommend if you haven't already binged their works, but this one will hold a special place in my heart.
