Days At The Morisaki Bookshop

The setting of the book is so cozy but the characters lack depth. I feel it's an issue of translation, filled with quick-moving short sentences, simple language choices and telling rather than showing. I struggled so hard to connect with the characters and their relationships with one another. Why did it feel like the aunt was going to murder Takako?

A quick cozy read but focus on enjoying the settings of the story rather than the characters!
