This book is sweet and beautiful 🥺 I'd recommend it to those looking for a short but meaningful super cozy reading ❤️🩹
The concept is so cute but also there's a layer of introspect to it that makes it even more enjoyable
The book talks about the Good Dollar Dream Department Store which (you guessed it) sells dreams to the people sleeping. But it's not that of a simple task as it seems - the owner taken seriously his role and tries to deliver the right dream to the right customer. For example, there's a new product which consists in premonitory dreams - they're not visions but more of glimpses of the future; obviously everyone wants them but Dollargut (the owner) refuses to sell them that simply because he knows that they are most wanted from people with set expectations so the wouldn't have any purpose. Instead he sells one of them to a screenwriter who needed just a little push to have faith in the new idea that was forming in her mind.
There are other stories like this that make you understand how equally important dreams can be in everyday life and why 🥺
(Shoutout to Seventeen Wonwoo for the rec)
