hollowistheworld 's review for:
Before the Coffee Gets Cold
by Toshikazu Kawaguchi
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
The concept was good and the writing did a good job of delivering on emotions, but the stories left increasingly bad tastes in my mouth. If your husband throws away your birthday present because he's mad you know he's getting you one, you're married to an angry toddler. That's not a character quirk, that's a sign you need a divorce attorney. I turned the book off after The Sisters ended with the character being successfully guilted into taking up the family business that she Did Not Want. Living for your relatives is bad. Living for your DEAD relatives is even worse. May be appealing to the more family-oriented but I am not among them.
