What You Are Looking For Is In The Library by Michiko Aoyama is a collection of inter-connected short stories about people who visit a particular library in Tokyo, where the Librarian gives them guidance about how to improve their lives through book recommendations and bonus gifts of felted objects.
And it was fine.
Each story in the audiobook is told by a different narrator and I liked some more than others. The same was true of the main protagonists, as I connected to some more than others. I wasn't keen on a couple of the male protagonists - particularly in the way they reacted to the Librarian's size. And, while each story had its good points and I liked the overall message, they all felt a bit nothing-y.
I did like the way various characters turned up in more than one of the stories, especially when the protagonists of previous stories became part of how later protagonists changed their lives.
It was an easy listen, but not a book that's going to stay with me.
