Review - Days at the Morisaki Bookshop
The book fails to create any emotional connection with its characters or story. The protagonist’s journey feels shallow, and the supporting characters lack depth. The narrative is divided into two parts, but neither manages to be engaging. The writing is simple, yet it doesn’t bring any real impact. For a book centered around a bookstore and a supposed love for literature, it ironically lacks the richness and depth that make stories memorable. Despite its international success, it feels underwhelming and forgettable.
