carlaonion 's review for:
The Nakano Thrift Shop
by Hiromi Kawakami
3.5* I did enjoy reading this and liked the chapters separate tales however felt they should have maybe been more or less connected? It felt somewhere in between short stories centred around the objects and customers and a book about her relationship with her colleagues. I also didn't really enjoy the constant sulk betweens her and Takeo. I felt throughout the book like the relationship was never really fully discussed, I wanted more, particularly more depth to Hitomi's thoughts and feelings about working with Takeo, even if they were more of the obsessive crush type than the true love form!
