Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi

4.0

people that can go back in time in a coffee shop? sign me in! 

a slow-moving, but beautifully paced novel about time-travel and questioning the idea that if you were given an opportunity to visit the past, would you? even though there’s nothing that you can change? even if there are strict measurements set in place making it seem almost pointless to even take part in the activity? 

this story left me slightly overwhelmed. this was such a character-driven story with so much heart and puts you in the shoed of those characters and you suddenly become connected to their pain and suffering as the story evolves. 

BTCGC was on my reading list for a long time. this is as gewd as everyone keep saying. simply-written BUT abs PERFECT!!!
