It's difficult to explain this book. The overall story makes sense and what happens between the characters, but part I and part II felt disconnected somehow. The bookshop and the MC's growth became less of the focus. It seemed like the three characters most discussrd were simply living their lives and the reader was a spectator. I didn't find myself getting really attached to any of the characters - they seemed kind of bland? Generic? But still liked them enough to finish the bokk. 
An easy read and I'm curious about the second book, but not enough to get it right away.

The concept and message of the story was good but the writing style was plain and I don't know how to express it least interesting maybe. Writing style annoyed me a bit it's the second time I felt this way while reading a Japanese book. I don't like the way these books are translated. The language is rich and expressive but hard to translate and the essence is lost in translation.

The only character I liked was Satoru others felt shallow and selfish. And I did not like Takako I could understand her feelings at a point or two but otherwise I didn't like her.
