It’s not driven by a fast paced plot, but it quietly lingers with you in the best way.

It’s a light yet reflective read. The beginning is slow, but the deeper you go, the more meaningful it becomes. You don’t just follow the bookshop owner’s journey, you also get glimpses into the lives of those around her. It's about community, healing, and figuring out your own rhythm in life.

This is the kind of book for anyone trying to find their footing or searching for direction. It reminded me how important it is to have a space or people outside of work, a little community that keeps you grounded.

Two lines that really stayed with me:
✨ “Never lose myself, no matter if it’s at work or outside.”
✨ “A day well spent is a life well lived.”
