This book is a two part book where we meet Takako, the niece of the bookstore owner Satoru in part 1, and his wife, who left him in part 2 

It was so lovely meeting Takako throughout the first part seeing her figure out her new life at the bookstore and develop her relationship with her uncle and the customers. I loved reading and listening to this story so much.


In the second half of the book, we find out more about the wife that left Satoru, and honestly, I really disliked her at first, and I still don't absolutely love her as muchas the other characters, but I do understand her somewhat.

I'd recommend this book if you want a relaxing story that's gonna frustrate you in a good way, I would recommend listening to it as an audiobook it truly adds to the vibe of this book.
