Dengan latar tempat yang hanya terjadi di kafe Funiculi Funicula, novel ini bisa membuat saya engage dengan ceritanya karena tidak hanya mengisahkan satu atau dua tokoh saja, tapi beberapa tokoh yang semuanya saling berkelindan. Saya suka bagaimana penulis membuat sub-babnya berdasarkan relasi dari tokoh-tokoh yang ia ceritakan. Diawali dengan relasi sepasang kekasih—yang dalam cerita ini masih terbilang dangkal, dan diakhiri dengan relasi paling kuat—ibu dan anak. Awalnya, saya kira kursi istimewa di Funiculi Funicula ini tidak hanya mampu membawa manusia ke masa lalu, tetapi juga mengubah masa depan. But I was wrong, and I was like, "What's the point?" Then there's Kazu, in the ending of the story, with her "That's the point."

The reviews for this book are all over the place, so I wasn't sure if I'd like it or not. I ended up really enjoying it! Each story was sweet, and I loved the legend of THAT chair, but the last story was by far the sweetest and most heartbreaking.

The only thing I didn't love was we never learn who the ghost woman is! The woman who, at some point in time, broke the most important rule...drink the coffee before it gets cold! Who is she? How long has she been at the cafe? Who did she go back and see?

THAT'S a story I would love to read!

Overall though, I really enjoyed this story, and I absolutely recommend it.
