What a surprising but poignant quick little read. It really makes you think about what you would say or do even if you couldn’t change a thing. I really enjoyed reading this translated work.

aside from the brilliant premise, the endearing characters and the tears-inducing stories, what struck me the most about this book is that despite it being devoid of flowery and pompous descriptions, i think it to be utterly cinematic. throughout my reading, my mind has crafted such a vivid image of the café that i felt like i was in it : i could almost see the pristine white cups of coffee with the steam rising from them, feel the pleasant coolness of the place and the coziness of the dimmed sepia lighting, hear the characteristic "CLANG-DONG" of the doorbell and the cheerful "hello, welcome !" that follows.
i am often rather reluctant when it comes to film or tv adaptations of books, but this one has the potential to be exploited so very nicely.
