I chose this book for the Diverse Baseline challenge for a translated work. 

I did enjoy the premise of the story; we have 4 separate people who visit a coffee shop that allows you to travel back in time for the length of a hot cup of coffee; each story focuses on love and loss and grief and forgiveness 

I also learned this was originally written as a screen play and as I read the audiobook I think that greatly helped it.
