Days At The Morisaki Bookshop

I listened to the audiobook version; the narration was good. I was hooked onto the story for the entire first half where Takako finds herself taken advantage of, she falls into a sad lull of life, she discovers the joy of reading, she discovers the happiness of meeting and interacting with people, and she discovers herself and her voice so much so that she is able to shout at her shitty boyfriend who was double timing her earlier. The second half of the book was slow and pointless that I suddenly found more interesting stuff to do than listen to the audiobook. It took me 4 days to finish a 4-hour book and I have earlier finished listening to 10-hour audiobooks in less than 2 days. Not a fan of the second half but the first story was cute.
