Almond

Cute book about a boy with the most petite amygdala you've ever seen. This was a fun read and a great piece of Asian literature in that it was like so depressing at every turn, at least in the beginning. I thought the vibe of it was great. I was just unsatisfied with the way the book resolved. Some moments of hope were cute but I don't like that we solved his neurological abnormality with friendship.
Weird that I was simultaneously reading 2 different books about someone pretending to be another person's son in a hospital but that's how it is sometimes.
