I really enjoyed the premise of the book (focusing on the life of someone with alexithymia) and I thought the writing was quite good.
my biggest issue was the plot, it seems to end really out of character and random - I do wonder if that's because oh who is narrating, it made it come off odd.
there was also a lot of violence that I did not expect...
