i don't think i “got” this book, but i don't think getting it was the point

the concept of seeing the world through a character who not only couldn't feel emotions but experienced an extremely traumatic event was captivating from the synopsis, and the execution did not disappoint. there was a moment or two where i felt like his character lapsed, but maybe that was just actual character development, and i had gotten too used to his emotionlessness.
