Almond by Won-Pyung Sohn

When we picked up this book, we didn’t know that the BTS sort of “endorsed” it. We liked the intriguing cover, got more interested after reading the blurbs and was hooked after just the first page. Three straight hours was how long it took us to get to the last page. The first parts were more riveting than the latter parts but all in all it was a heartwarming read. We wanted some parts to be grittier but it’s a YA novel so to delve deeper would be out of character so to speak. Along the lines of, but not as wholesome, Wonder by RJ Palacio, this book has a lot of good in it that’s meant to be shared. Maybe it’s the reason why BTS thought it was wise to support it.
