Kyoko Tanihara still believes in the power of the right book at the right time, even as the daily grind at Musashino Bookstore wears her down. Her biggest obstacle isn’t the demanding customers or the public slip-ups that ripple through the shop—it’s her manager, Takeru Yamamoto, whose self-help obsession and cringe-worthy “motivational” talks seem tailor-made to derail her. When an unexpected book lands in Kyoko’s hands, it nudges her to reconsider what she thinks she knows about him, and about herself. Perfect for readers who love contemporary fiction, translated Japanese literature, bookstore settings, and stories about work life and resilience. Pick up a copy and see what happens when irritation turns into insight.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dear Village","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54056359493908,"sku":"9781529446364","price":34.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/6460\/0596\/files\/9781529446364_1.jpg?v=1790059911","url":"https:\/\/dearvillage.com.au\/products\/how-can-my-manager-be-so-stupid","provider":"Dear Village","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
