This was very whimsical and I really enjoyed it. The concept was super interesting and I liked seeing the intricacies of the world and how the department store worked. We follow a lot of characters but I thought they all added something to the story. The story is warm and uplifting right until the final chapter. This might of just been for me but that last chapter hit me so hard. I think each reader will have an emotional reaction to some aspect of the story. Overall this would be a great book for a comfort read, it’s more vibes than following a direct plot but I still had a great time.
