Normally I am not a fan of cozy books, but this novel was a pleasant surprise. The novel has a decent pace and doesn't drag on like some cozy novels I have read. There is enough family/relationship drama that keeps the story interesting with out being too overwhelming. The focus shifts from the main character to her uncle and I would say they both get an equal spotlight in their problems and growth through the story. The focus is predominantly on the characters and their relationships with out any real plot line aside from personal growth and healing. Very cute! Would recommend for a cozy coffee day.

I believe it is inferred that Momoko (the aunt) has Uterine cancer, just because she mentions that the doctors had to take hers out. I didn't want to add Cancer to the content warnings though as it is not explicitly stated.

iaproton's review against another edition

emotional lighthearted mysterious relaxing sad

Part 1 was quite relaxing after she moved out from the city where her boyfriend was exploiting her.Unfortunately, it tends to skip forward instead of giving more details about the good parts of her forming a friendship and getting on better with the customers in the bookshop,Then there is a bit of conflict with confronting her ex
. 

Part 2 is a lot more lively in the audiobook with the dialogue with her aunt sounding a bit hyperactive and emotional.

Das Gefühl, dass sich in einem beim Lesen dieses Buches breit macht, ist unbeschreiblich schön. Man leidet und man freut sich mit den Charakteren - mit jedem einzelnen von ihnen.

Das ist ein Buch, dass ich immer wieder lesen könnte!
