This book was very cozy, albeit a bit slow at times. I enjoyed it overall, but sometimes the lack of plot made me very sleepy and bored. I loved the central bookshop, and the characters who begin to form their lives around it. I loved the ideas following your dreams, putting yourself first, finding things that you are comfortable with when you can't find something you're passionate about. And sometimes comfort can turn into passion. Etc. It was nice!

A cozy, comfortable read that very much sits squarely in the “slice of life” genre. A little boring at times, but overall this book definitely gives off “sipping on a mug of hot chocolate while wrapped in a blanket” vibes.
