BATB score: 9/10 🤩

BATB read level: 1 easy peesy

Best to: a very moving novel about bullies, being special, and friendship 🥺 very captivating, entertaining, and easy to read

Best for: so you know the famous K-Pop band BTS? and you know RM the leader of BTS? he reads this book - hmm, actually SUGA and J-Hope were seen reading this book too; not that it matters, but it kinda matters

BATB nerd moment: Alexithymia is the inability to identify and express one's feelings (think Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory) one of the causes could be a smaller inborn amygdalae which is an almond-shaped mass of gray matter inside the brain, involved with the experiencing of emotions; and this book is titled "Almond"

Best quote: “neither you nor I nor anyone can ever really know whether a story is happy or tragic.”

"Anything will lose its meaning if you repeat it often enough."

"Being ordinary is the hardest thing to achieve."
