Tales from the Café by Toshikazu Kawaguchi

5.0

4.5 ⭐️

It's rare to find a sequel to a book (that was already good) that lives up to the reader's expectations. But I must say that, in this case, I enjoyed this second part even more than the first one.
These beautiful four tales, or short stories, that take place at this Café, are completely heart moving and beautiful. I would even dare to use the expression "hauntingly beautiful", since it really made me shed a couple of tears and feel happy, despite the portion of sadness that they generated inside of me.

I truly recommend the "Before the Coffee Gets Cold" books to anyone, not only to readers. The stories are truly delightful, easy to read and completely heart warming.

Warning: the ending did actually make me shed a couple of tears. So proceed with caution while wearing mascara :P
