Nanako works at a cult bookstore in Tokyo and understands literature like no other. After a difficult breakup with her husband, she literally found herself homeless: sleeping in cheap hostels, public baths, and capsule hotels, and going to work with a suitcase. And work itself had long since ceased to be enjoyable... One day, Nanako discovered an unusual dating site online: "Try meeting someone for just thirty minutes—just to chat." While browsing through the various profiles, she suddenly thought: "What would happen if I met a complete stranger to... recommend a book? The perfect book, suitable only for them?" Overcoming her natural shyness, Nanako goes on her first meeting, unaware of how dramatically it will change her life...

"Bookstore Girl" was published in Japan in 2018 and immediately gained widespread acclaim across the country (the book was even adapted into a TV series), and soon, internationally. This funny, life-affirming story about finding yourself and your calling will not leave any reader indifferent!
