After reading and cherishing Welcome to the Hyunam-dong Bookshop, I was looking forward to slow-reading this one. I've been reading it for over a month, giving myself time to savor it and inform my own thoughts. As someone who had to re-start in life, I know first-hand how hard it is, how depression can quickly make one feel worthless. So, these narratives are empowering because they force the reader to reconsider what 'success' means, but also that there is no streamlined path to follow. We stumble into people, who can become great friends, and even when we plan out our ideal career plan, its reality might be hauntingly unsatisfying.
This is for the readers who are considering change, but feel too frightened. If you are feeling burnt out, crying every morning before work or simply too numb to do more than just survive, I think this would find you better than any email could.

Another cozy reflective read
This book was like a warm comforting hug after a rough day. Like a cry that has been building up, finally being released and relived. I can’t recommend this book enough if you’re looking for a slow, warm and comforting read. Another 5 stars from me!

This book brought me comfort. It felt so realistic; the struggles, the inner turmoil, and the slow process of healing. It gave me space to reflect on my own life and left me feeling hopeful.
