4.2 out of 5
Set against the backdrop of cherry blossoms in bloom and the warmth of spring sunshine, the book transports readers to a quaint Japanese bookstore. When Takako finds out her boyfriend is getting married to another woman and then forced out of her job, she has no choice but to move to her uncle’s secondhand bookstore, hidden in a quiet wooden building in Japan’s famous book district—Jimbocho, Tokyo; where she rediscovers friendship, love, and the power of literature all while trying to heal from her past trauma and betrayal.
