More Days at the Morisaki Bookshop by Satoshi Yagisawa

4.0

Another slice of life, heart wrenching book, where not much happens but also everything happens.

This made me cry, so be prepared.

Favourite quotes (definite spoilers)
"Thank you for crying over me," Momoko said. "When you're sad, don't try to hold it in. It's ok to cry a lot. The tears are there because you've got to go on living, which means there'll be more things to cry about. They'll come at you from all sides. So don't ever try to hide from the sadness. When it comes, cry it out. It's better to keep moving forward with sadness; that's what it means to live."


It was trivial little moments like this that kept coming back to me after she died. In those moments, it felt like I had a gaping hole in my heart. That's what it was like losing someone precious to you. I felt it now in so many different places and in so many different ways.
