Finished Almond by Won-pyung Sohn and this was a GREAT book. Definitely recommended. Yunjae, is very honest - with everything. I guess that is what comes with lacking emotions and empathy. However, he still shows care for others and wants to understand people so deeply. Even Gon who is horrible to him and everyone, due to his curiosity of understanding humans he is the only one who shows sympathy for Gon. Despite not being able to feel - he recognises that Gon has had a difficult life making him want to appear cold hearted but he isn’t. He is a broken boy. And Yunjae is the only person willing to be patient and present for Gon, even when it puts his life on the line.

Really had me at first, thought it would become one of my favourites, but

the author had to magically cure the boy by giving him a crush and a friend.

2 stars for the childhood part of it, though.

Also, the girl was so unnecessary, Gon was right there already, they had chemistry, Gon had some personality behind his name unlike the girl 🤷🏻‍♀️

It was a good read but the ending felt too short. Maybe it's me because thats something I feel with a lot of books. Either ways it was a unique perspective to read from.

“From what I understood, love was an extreme idea. A word that seemed to force something undefinable into the prison of letters. But the word was used so easily, so often” - Yunjae as narrator
