Almond opens Goodreads in a new tab

My thoughts

it started off as a very promising 5-star read but then two things really bugged me alot and brought down the overall rating to, well a 2.5 barely (rounded down to 2-stars) 1. the fact that these two guys were looking at pictures of Brooke Shields in her early days (which I googled was when she was 10 and working for Playboy!!) 2. the ending: I don't know enough about Alexithymia but I definitely feel the ick that suddenly by the end of the book the main character was supposedly 'cured' of his (I am assuming) neurodivergent traits? All in all, this book had loads of potential but it just didn't stick with me the way it did for others.
