Where should I start?
This book is full of emotions. I felt all kind of emotions, from sadness to happiness, from feeling injustice to justice, since anger to calmness... This book makes you feel things, remembering how much human you actually are.
Plus, it has friendship as one of the main topics: what can a friendship do for you? To what extent can a friendship change the way you percieve the world around you?
Besides, I really like the commentary on what it is to be a "normal person" nowadays. 

This book will be forever in my heart. I don't remember reading a book as enthusiastically as I read this one. 
I recommend this book to everyone.

tbh everything was an easy 5 stars for me untill it begin to close with the ending. serius, chapter 1-3 beneran ringan tapi seru buat diikutin.

chapter 1
perkenalan tokoh utama yg mengidap penyakit alexitimia karena ukuran amigdala nya yg kecil serta interaksi tokoh utama dengan keluarganya dideskripsikan dgn cara yg apik. trus juga kadang tuh lucuuuu misal kaya pas dia deskripsiin ibunya yg awet muda tapi pemilihan katanya tuh aduhhhhh malah bikin kesannya jadi kaya sebuah ejekan😭👎

chapter 2
penggambaran interaksi sosial tokoh utama setelah peristiwa naas yg dialami oleh nenek dan ibunya. interaksi sosial bermakna tuh pertama sama prof. shim dan ke depannya dia bakal bantuin tokoh utama buat berinteraksi.
trusss nanti di sini bakal ketemu sama gon, tokoh yg ngajarin arti "teman" buat tokoh utama.

chapter 3
MULAI KENAL CINTA AHAHAHA lucuuuu bgt pas deskripsiin perasaannya ke dora😭

pokoknya sampe chapter 3 semuanya oke oke aja gue seneng bgt. humornya dapet, dinamika kisahnya gak datar, and the protagonist is also lovable. besides that, tbh gon is such a cliche character. kelakuan preman tapi hati hello kitty. tapi tuh tetep bikin simpati sama gon atas semua masa lalunya😭😭😭💕

oke sekarang bagian ending sama epilog
alias alasan kenapa kaga jadi 5 stars soalnya
jujurrrr kecewa sama endingnya. kaya hah sinetron bgt ga sieee ueueueueue
sebenernya juga ga ada riset terbaru ttg how to cure alexithymia cuma tuh dari ceritanya juga ga dijelasin secara rinci penyebab penyakitnya (cuma dijelasin kalo secara anatomis ukuran amigdala nya kecil) dan proses patofisiologisnya jg ga dijelasin secara rinci jadiiii pas tiba2 endingnya bisa sembuh dgn kekuatan cinta dan persahabatan tuh kaya ???? sinetron bgt😭😭😭
sebenernya si masih masuk akal, soalnya dari awal jg dijelasin progress interaksi sosialnya. mulai dari mengamati mimik wajah gon, trus nanya2 ke prof. shim, apalagi pas naksir dora itu jelas ada bgt perkembangannya. cuma tuh gatauuuuu kenapa tapi gue kecewa bgt pas endingnya dia nangis kaya wahhhh sembuh nih??? padahal jg sebelumnya dia udh ngalamin peristiwa tragis jg. ngeliat anak dibully sampe meninggal, nenek ditikam, nyokap koma. tapi giliran kecelakaan sm temen dia gitu😭👎 ah gatau dehhhh mungkin ekspetasi gue aja yg krg sesuai hhhhh emg harusnya mah gausah berekspetasi hiks


oiya gue sukaaaa bgt karakter yoonjae si tokoh utama. dia memandang dunia apa adanya tanpa bias emosi karena alexitimia yg dideritanya. dia jg kesannya terlalu serius dan apa adanya tapi justru itu yg bikin lawak. his struggles to understand the complexity of our society is enjoyable to read.

overall, this book is really worth to read. serius deh ringan, easily-read, informative in fun way!

Un libro juvenil hermoso y conmovedor, y muy duro y crudo por momentos.
