Almond by Won-pyung Sohn
3.0

For a book obsessed with feeling, I didn’t do much of that while reading it. 
The translation reads in the emotionally-lite style the narrative requires while maintaining obvious compassion - so maybe it was just me. 
The core of this story is simply that our brains are wild and vaguely incomprehensible and we live by their dictations, no matter how strange they are. We know that. And we know that to be alive is to love is to be human.
