How should i put it? Its not a bad book. I just cant seem to like it as much.
I’ll start with what I like about it. Its a short and fast paced book. Book about bookstore and books, which i love. I also liked that it was a small town and the characters are lovely. The atmosphere is really there.
BUT. Maybe because its translated, I cant seem to engage with the story. I just dont seem to enjoy Japanese translated books. So im the one to blame. And there are many details that were not written, which kinda pisses me off.
