A review by emilybolivia
Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi

2.5

The first chapter was painfully bad. It was nearly a DNF but it got steadily better. Glad I stuck with it. Time travel as a trope always irritates me but I liked the way the author handled it here. It was more a literary device that helped reveal deepened character relationships with self and others vs the more conventional time travel as an integral and pervasive plot driver.
