Status Updates From The Banned Bookshop of Magg...

The trope of "I'm gonna secretly break all the rules behind my friend's back for my friend's own good, IMO...what do you mean no one trusts me anymore?" is so puerile to me. And dismissing classics as a whole (when you've barely explored the genre) while working in a bookstore *that sells classics* is bananas to me. I think I get what the author is trying to do but it's a cringy path.

this is so cute and cozy but i feel like i can't appreciate the message behind this because it's written for 20 year olds and people who are finding jobs. i think i might wait until im at least in college or unsure of what job to get because i want to be able to relate to it and i love the vibe but im not connecting with the characters or themes.
