The feminine urge to quit my career and open my own bookshop has never been stronger ðŸ«
This book was truly delightful and a joy to read; I felt myself rooting for each and every character throughout. Although at around 50% it got a bit slower and slightly tiring to read, it picked up pace again shortly after and it was just LOVELY.
I noticed that this translation was blunt at times, but that I quite enjoyed the no-frills moment. Shanna Tan can translate from English into Chinese, Japanese and Korean - what a phenomenal person! 🥹
I’m giving this 4 out of 5 stars, thank you ✨
