An enjoyable quick read!
After ending a reltionship and a job, Tanako finds herself in her uncle's bookshop until she figured out what her next steps are going to be.
There is is very clear growth and development in Tanako - she begins the story depressed and not liking her uncle for seemingly childish and petty reasons, but she is then able to understand why she reacted in such way and is able to get out of the slump.
This was possible in big part due to her finding a passion for books, and finding inspiration in the stories she was reading.
Multiple characters explain how books helped them and also shaped them, so this book also feel like a love story to books.
I did have the urge to tell some characters to please, see a therapist, but overall it's a nice read for a lazy weekend afternoon
