I read this in one sitting, and think this would do well if optioned and adapted for tv (either as a made-for-tv film or a limited series). It is pretty low-stakes, but still grapples with grief, loss, and universal feelings of loneliness, sadness, and searching for meaning. Learning about how the department store operates was fascinating and I kept thinking people would love seeing this as a cozy, whimsical, and comforting lil tv series or film.
