Before the Coffee Gets Cold (First Time Trade)
Before the Coffee Gets Cold (First Time Trade) | Toshikazu Kawaguchi
3 posts | 10 read | 1 to read
"Heartwarming, quirky, and wistful." --HuffPost If you could go back, who would you want to meet? In a small back alley of Tokyo, there is a caf that has been serving carefully brewed coffee for more than one hundred years. Local legend says that this shop offers something else besides coffee--the chance to travel back in time. Over the course of one summer, four customers visit the caf in the hopes of making that journey. But time travel isn't so simple, and there are rules that must be followed. Most important, the trip can last only as long as it takes for the coffee to get cold. "Resonant... The narrative is deeply moving." --Chicago Review of Books "The story is gold. Before the Coffee Gets Cold is perfect for anyone who wants to feel connected." --Bookreporter

Had no idea this was based off a play until after I bought it. Some reviews said they didn‘t really like the writing style, but it didn‘t bother me too much. Some parts were a tiny bit repetitive, but I really did love the last two chapters… Sisters and Mother and Child. Loved the ending.

Garabrandtreviews Are you going to read the other three books? They are all amazing 10mo

Don‘t mind me, I‘m just sobbing in a corner for all of eternity. This was beautiful. It hurt in all the right places but it was a good thing.

CatLass007 The description of this book sounds intriguing. I‘ve added it to my Audible wish list. 1y

#UnpopularOpinion time. I feel a bit like Scrooge shouting Bah! Humbug! but this did not live up to its hype for me.
While I love the concept, I found the stories overly sentimental, some of the characters really irritating, and if the prose had been written in the present tense it would have read exactly like overly detailed stage directions. 🤷🏼‍♀️

TrishB I bailed on this and have been forever scratching my head at the appeal! We definitely can‘t all like the same things. 2y
Leniverse @TrishB I read it one story at the time in-between other things, because it's only short and I was curious to see if we'd get some explanations. But I definitely won't be getting the sequel. 😆 Glad it's not just me though! 2y
