What a lovely story. The plot, style of writing and characters are all brilliant. Whilst not much actually happens within the book in terms of storyline, the way it is written within a singular 24 hour period, capturing snippets of many customers lives and focusing on the character development of the two main characters who are waitresses, it is an excellent read. I am very nosy and a people watcher so can really relate to this story as it shows how very different peoples lives and situations can be whilst they are at the same cafe, at the exact same time of day or night.
