2.5 generously rounding to 3. As someone else says, “no plot just vibes,” but even the vibes were a miss for me. I felt like I was kept at arms-length. It’s an interesting premise, but I never was wowed by Penny, Dallergut or the store, and - maybe because of the state of my cold, dark heart - I never felt my heartstrings pulled, even though I craved it. My favorite of the stories were about the customers addressing their trauma and the musician struggling with inspiration, but even those felt too brief and just at surface level. I just felt nothing with this one.

Penny gets a job at the Dallergut Dream Department store, a place where you can purchase dreams ranging from meeting a celebrity to seeing a family member who has passed. Told in a series of vignettes, you follow Penny as she bumbles and learns the ropes while interacting with customers.

I think fans of When the Coffee Gets Cold might enjoy this or vice versa, folks who enjoy the cozy subgenre, or *maybe* light novels (I’m pretty ignorant about these, but this somewhat reminded me of light novel The Haunted Bookstore by Shinobumaru).

Another piece of "feel-good" fiction deliberately written to bring comfort to people. As long as you have that expectation at the start, it's a light, easy read with an interesting concept. Like other pieces of work in this new genre (that is a response to late capitalism) though, the characters are pretty flat and the plot and world building are subpar. It's good for what it is and what it sets out to do, but don't expect anything revolutionary. I do like the concept of buying dreams and paying with emotions.
