It's difficult to explain this book. The overall story makes sense and what happens between the characters, but part I and part II felt disconnected somehow. The bookshop and the MC's growth became less of the focus. It seemed like the three characters most discussrd were simply living their lives and the reader was a spectator. I didn't find myself getting really attached to any of the characters - they seemed kind of bland? Generic? But still liked them enough to finish the bokk. 
An easy read and I'm curious about the second book, but not enough to get it right away.
