Pretty sure this will get the award for my shortest read of the year, coming in at 147 pages total. 

I really enjoyed this translated story, focused on Takako’s journey to finding herself after a bad breakup. From living in her uncle’s used bookstore for a while to her strengthening of relationships with herself, her uncle, and her aunt who has reappeared after 5 years - so many heartwarming takeaways. 

If you’re looking for a short, not too heavy read - consider picking this one up.
