lots of relatable quotes but I expected more from this. kahit kase cozy read lang or slice of life some authors still make it enjoyable. idk how this didn’t give me that kase sayang yung atmosphere. it could have been better

Wonderful, warm read about healing from wounds ns finding your place in the world. 

The short version is i wanted to see the whole world for myself. i wanted to see the whole range of possibilities. your life is yours. it doesn't belong to anyone else. i wanted to know what it would mean to live life on my own terms.


i don't have high expectation when i read this book at first but fortunately this book is the one of the best book that i've read for last 2023 even though i finished in the early of 2024. the whole story is spectacular.
this book has light storyline and related with how are life going. Resign from work, broke with the loves one and then trying to move on, trying to figured out what's mean of life is. i love the writer write the story, it's so easy to understand. but there is part that i feel regrettable and it is part 2, i thought the story contiuning from the part 1 but endeup with the Takako's uncle story.
overall, this book is worth to read.

I enjoyed it. It was a simple book about a bookshop, no magic, no time travel etc. The characters felt relatable and interesting, I did like reading it. But do I remember a lot of the last 30 pages? Sadly not. I feel like the ending came too far too soon, I didn't even realise it was the end! In my version of the book there's a bonus unrelated story, which takes up about 10-15 pages. I feel like the main story could've used those pages to ease the ending a little bit.
