The Most Read Books on Goodreads This Week

Rachel Rosenberg called this one of the best books about reading: “Takako is living a great life until her boyfriend Hideaki lets it drop that he’s been cheating on her and plans to marry the other woman. Then everything begins to crumble as she loses her job, her home, and her friends. When her uncle Satoru offers her a position at his second-hand book store, she reluctantly takes it — mostly so she can live in the rent-free apartment above the shop — but it does eventually lead her to discover a love of reading and allow her to meet new people.”

The StoryGraph users describe this as emotional, lighthearted, reflective, and fast-paced.
