As a book lover this reading experience was equivalent to a warm hug. The messages in the interconnected series are so profound and often made me tear up a bit. 

Five seemingly unrelated folks who are lost in life visit the library in the community center and receive book recommendations from the resident librarian Sayuri Komanche. After each character reads the book they were recommended they look at life in a different lense and find the solution in their life. If I could describe this I would say this book is an epiphany in itself. 

The only issue I had was the fatphobia that each character had about the librarian. I’m not sure what the purpose was for that. I listened to this all in audiobook format. Although the stories get repetitive I loved how flushed out the characters are in just the one chapter they have. I appreciated this and enjoyed this as a comfy lit fic read with a bit of magical realism!
