This book is like a warm hug after a tiring day. Absolutely in no rush to finish this because i just love how chill and calming to read this. Also, this book is maybe reviving my dreams of establishing an independent bookstore myself.

Sometimes, Korean and Japanese novels just hit differently even though sometimes the characters feel flat or the conversations don’t have the witty banter of most books written by Western authors that I read.

My second book by a Korean author! or more like 2.5. because I just couldn’t finish Human Acts (if you’ve read it, you’ll know or maybe I’m just a weak shit) Taking a rom-com break because I feel like I have been rom-commed out after reading 5 in the span of 2 weeks 😂

After days of devouring rom-com books, this is a pleasant break :) This is my third book written by a Korean author as I usually gravitate towards Japanese authors. But I love it so far!!!
