This was such an interesting book. The characters were so well written and their stories were endearing. This was the first translated book I have read so some of the nuances of the writing are probably a little lost but I really enjoyed this quick read! I’m looking forward to reading the next one and getting more of this little world.

3.0

I really enjoyed the first part of the book, which was set in the bookstore and focused on Takako's relationship with her uncle and her burgeoning love of reading. The second half had some bright spots, particularly her interactions with Wada; but it was much weaker overall. I really disliked the aunt. I have sympathy for her, and I realize there are probably some cultural differences at play here, but I found literally all of her behavior unacceptable.
