Review: Comforting Book - Beautifully written book which feels like a hug ..loved it..♥️♥️
Review: This is such a charming book. I read it in the space of 24 hours. Everything about it makes you feel better, like it’s a gateway to a gentler and more peaceful world. Despite that, I love the realism and the dilemmas the characters face. Whatever horrible things happen, dreams that didn’t quite come to fruition, or insecurities, there’s always room to heal and connect with people. That’s the message I took from this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by M***E on 4 August 2025*

This is a lovely little book of stories…an intimate look at the everyday lives of people in Japan who all happen to be connected in some way to the Tenderness Convenience Store. Young people, old people, married people, single people. I got confused a couple of times but them reminded myself that in Japan people are referred to by their surnames as a sign of respect but when you get very close, you can use given name so be on alert for a name change here and there. 2/3 of way through, I jotted down notes to keep them straight. Wonderful characters!
