I loved the storyline, the way it's written, everything! I don't give it 5 starts just because there are a couple moments where the protagonist's emotions were portrayed in a strange way, BUT I understand it must be hard for someone who's able to feel emotions to describe how someone with Alexithymia experiences them (or not) so it's a minor detail. It was a really fun and interesting read as someone with only cognitive empathy. I'd definitely recommend reading it and I want to buy the physical book to mark my favorite parts!

Really simple, but amazing book. For me ending is most important part

what happened to his grandma n ma is just so cruel maannn :(

A história de um menino que não consegue sentir, faz refletir sobre vários sentimentos, caminhos, relações entre pessoas e sobre dar e receber amor.
Singelo, simples e cheio de sensibilidade.
Traz leveza para temas complexos e tristes.
Belo livro.

fast-paced

I liked most of the book, but the messaging at the end just felt off and quite ableist

Raw, complex and a little gay.
