Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi
4.0
emotional funny hopeful inspiring reflective sad fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Reading the endings of each of these stories felt like the emotional equivalent of being crushed by a steamroller. When I finished reading, it made me quietly sit down and contemplate the types of people that I want to write about and the interactions that they have.
