Before the Coffee Gets Cold
by Toshikazu Kawaguchi
I cried at 3 of the 4 stories in this book, so it was a pretty good time. Like pretty much all I wanted from this was to cry and it fully succeeded there.
The characters are all wonderful. The stories themselves are lovely and sweet and touching. It banks so much on the emotion of the situations and does such a good job capturing the love of these people and the heartbreak that often accompanies that love.
I will admit I wanted to care a little more. Like I did really enjoy this a lot, but I wanted to absolutely fall in love with the story and I didn't. There was just a little bit of a disconnect which was unfortunate.
It's the ultimate bittersweet book. If you like quiet stories about people's lives and want to cry a bit, I'd highly recommend giving this a go.
