Such a short book but I really loved it! I can't really explain why, I just loved the atmosphere and the way the characters were written. Absolutely going to keep my eye out for a copy when I get the chance.

Es una historia contada en primera persona sobre una joven que, tras una ruptura amorosa, cae en una profunda depresión y deja su trabajo. Su vida da un giro de 180° cuando se muda temporalmente con su tío, dueño de una librería en el epicentro de las librerías en Tokio. A través de los libros y las historias que la rodean, la protagonista comienza a reencontrarse consigo misma y a reconstruir su vida poco a poco.

La primera parte del libro me atrapó especialmente, ya que logra transmitir con mayor profundidad los sentimientos de la protagonista en su proceso de duelo y sanación. Sin embargo, en la segunda mitad, la historia pierde un poco de fuerza y no se adentra tanto en las emociones, lo que me dejó con ganas de una conexión más profunda. Aun así, es una lectura ágil y sencilla que refleja el poder transformador de los libros y el refugio que pueden representar en momentos difíciles.

What a lovely, warm, little book. This 147 page novel was the perfect way to spend a cold winter evening! The depiction of Takako’s depression was so similar to my own, this story won me over from the very beginning. I didn’t always know where the story was going, but it’s a beautiful lesson in the power of books, bookstores, and really getting to know people.

Can a book not be both light in content and heavy in impact 😭. I want a comfort text that still moves me!! This provided the reassurance of mutual lostness and some of that AO3 ghibli escapism tho so not mad for the pleasant company
