For @Seoungjoo, this book feels like a romance that shifts from light to heavy from my perspective, but based on my observations, you might be someone who loves romance, not to be hopeless, but the kind that somehow brings suffering that is bittersweet. Tom Lake by Ann Patchett is, of course, a book about romance, exploring themes of youthful passion that could make anyone blush. Why this book? As I’ve observed, you might be someone who conceals your longing for love, which then turns into a desire to be loved with such passion that you see love as the key to making life more colorful, with a tint of romance. Also, you might be the type of person driven partly by ambition, and this book portrays love as an ambition itself, one that makes us question whether the ending will be a tragedy or a romance that feels truly real. It radiates the contrast between youthful dreams and the realities of adulthood, making us reflect. It’s a book that balances between heaviness and lightness, thereby makes me think it suits you well, as someone I’ve come to see as lovely in my observations.
