<spoiler>
One of the main characters is an escapee of domestic violence, and the husband tracks her down (via a friend spying) and assaults her in her new space. It's somewhat detailed, with the inner monologue of the character being accurate I suspect, but hard to read.
</spoiler>
Henry is an adulterer. I very much dislike this.
Op is the only character I like or find interesting.

I think the title and the synopsis is misleading, I think the bookshop has appeared in one page so far? I've been reading this since August 2024, so clearly something isn't clicking, but I also can't seem to give up on it. I don't know if it's the book or just the type of person I am. I'm hoping now that the backstory of the characters have been set up, we actually get some bookshop in the book.
