The Nakano Thrift Shop by Hiromi Kawakami
3.75
lighthearted medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Short and sweet rom-com vibe read. Very quaint and distinctly japanese feeling read, the translator does a good job in capturing the rhythm and body of the original japanese text. Not deeply profound, but well written and encapsulates a snapshot of life
