The Nakano Thrift Shop
by Hiromi Kawakami
I enjoyed this book. It captures the sweetness of life in its greatest simplicity. I liked the honest confusion that each character embodied as the novel really captured the awkward chaos that daily routine gifts us. This book was a slice of life and I loved it.
A criticism of the book may be that it didn’t follow an actual story line but that’s also not what it was meant to do. It shows the uniqueness of everyone in our lives and the changing of times. This book will make you appreciate life more; the way you consider your simplest joys will be accompanied by more gratitude and acceptance.
Another thing I enjoyed about the book was the writing. It was easy to read as it felt relatable and scarily similar to your own daily thoughts. The More you read, the better the writing gets and the more developed and comforting the cast of characters gets.
