Before the Coffee Gets Cold: A Heartfelt Novel Exploring Regret, Redemption and Closure From a Magical Café (Before the Coffee Gets Cold Series, 1)

This was an interesting concept. I did love the background information of the coffee culture in Japan. For me the book was a little slow, but I would recommend it to those who have ever needed the closure of moments missed.

4 🌟 I was a bit confused starting this book as I didn't realize it was 4 different interconnected short stories. I think it may have lost a little something in translation. It was repetitive in stating the rules.. Even within a story to the point of being a bit annoying. I did get teary eyed in the 2nd and 4th story. The overall theme of the stories were easy to get, even if the telling of them fell a little flat. I also think the culture difference between the author and myself led to some of the phrasing and tone of passages to just be odd for me.

Beautiful prose and stories. First book read on my kindle and I’m so glad I picked this one. I loved it ❤️
I heard this review on one of clockwork reads videos, she never disappoints. The last story about mother and daughter particularly touched my heart. I will look back on these characters with fondness

Cute heartfelt read with simple feel good stories

I actually enjoyed it. It has this calm, melancholic vibe all through the book. It's sad, but in a quiet, comforting sort of way.
