Quick read — finished this in just a few days. It was a story unlike any I’ve ever read — about two boys; one who feels too much, and one who feels nothing at all, born with a brain condition called alexithymia, which in medical terms means “inability to identify and describe emotions experienced by one’s self or others”.

While it’s not necessarily a book I’d recommend, I did find value in reading it — especially with the author’s point in showcasing children who are different from parents’ expectations and that kids who don’t meet those expectations deserve love and opportunities and acceptance.
