Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi

lighthearted relaxing medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? No

3.0

This is an odd little book about a cafe where you can travel to the past. The rules are very stringent and won’t change the present, but this opportunity gives some of the characters the answers or closure that they need.
