Kim Namjoon Book Club: Almond

The first in our Kim Namjoon Book Club. We noticed RM reading Almond (Won-Pyong Sohn) in the 2020 In the Soop series.

It's the perfect book to jump into for these bonus monthly episodes.

Almond tells the story of Yunjae, who at an early age, is diagnosed with Alexithymia, a condition where people are unable to identify or express their feelings (the almond of the title refers to the underdeveloped almond-shaped amygdalae in his brain. As a result, he has a hard time in social situations. Things take a dark turn when he loses his mother and grandma in a violent attack right before high school. It then becomes a tale of how one "monster" meets "another monster." This is a short read at only 250. Jump into the book club with Alison and Megan to hear their thoughts.
