5.0

Despite the book being around only 159 pages long the events in it were a lot, diverse and very descriptive to the extent that it steals you from where you are to Morisaki the secondhand bookstore and readers’ world. It will touch base with your love of reading and how when you read a secondhand book you feel connected with the previous reader through a highlighted passage or finding a pressed flower between the book pages; “At some point in the past, someone reading this book had felt moved to take a pen and draw a line under these words. It made me happy to think that because I had been moved by that same passage too, I was now connected to that stranger.”

The story itself was good it is about Takako a 25 years old girl who got cheated and dumped by her boyfriend feeling her world flipped upside down she left her work and went to help her uncle with his secondhand bookshop and lived there till she get back her life all together and how books helped her to heal.
