i love everything about this novel with my entire being. Saye is not only a wonderful romance, but also a very well-constructed psychological sol. It can get from adorable, heart-warming & wholesome to heart-wrenching & even hilarious - it can shift between all modes in the most natural way.its character are fantastically-written, gorgeously fleshed out & developed. They're multi-layered with their lives, struggles & relationships feeling real & sincere. You can tell the author wrote everyone with great care.saye often deals with sensitive issues such as mental illness, strained relationships & even death & it does so in a very delicate manner. It may get very emotional at times, but never gets *too* heavy.it presents youth & first love in an extremely realistic manner, one I haven't often stumbled upon in fiction. The relationship between GF & JC is not only ridiculously sweet, but also incredibly balanced & healthy. The romance in saye is not just about two people being cute together & doing lovey-dovey stuff, but mostly about two people who stand by, support, fulfill & help each other constantly evolve & become a better version of themselves.i adore the dialogue in this novel, whether it's silly everyday talk between the characters or serious, heart-to-heart conversations, its beautifully-written, keeps the reader invested & gives more & more insight into the characters & their relationships as the story goes.i have no idea how this story will proceed & end, it's as unpredictable & surprising as life itself, yet I have faith it won't disappoint. Eagerly waiting for more chapters to be translated. (Gotta add a mandatory huge thanks to the translators at this point. Thanks for bringing this story to us, you're doing a gorgeous job <3)
