This book was not for me. There was no plot. I did not feel attached to the characters. It was a comfort read, and felt cozy, but the plot frustrated me and I wanted to be done with it. I thought we would learn more about Shiba, but no. I’m glad I tried it, cause it’s a bit out of my reading comfort zone, but it wasn’t it for me.
