A coffee shop with the opportunity of time travel is a great concept for this book with strict rules on the travel to keep the intentions innocent and avoid abuse. Although we never find the history of how this opportunity came to be, the four stories still carry sweet emotions and drive the storyline. I don't know if it's a series I would continue with but I did enjoy this book.

Culture was interesting, but not enough to keep me interested.

Lost in too many translations from script to novel, then translation into English. A little magic disappeared along the way. Unfortunate Benoit had a great premise.

Audiobook: Heartwarming little story. At first, it was a little tough to keep the names straight but that wasn't a problem towards the end.
