Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi
1.5
hopeful lighthearted reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Sweet sentiment and lovely idea, but not my cup of tea. The main ideas were restated over and over. Plus, I’m not a fan of stories that end with women dying in childbirth, especially in present times.
