Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi (5/5)

Have you ever wished to change your past? But there is one rule: You have to take it back before the coffee gets cold. The book starts with the owner of a small café in Tokyo named Nagare and his employee, Kazu. The café is located on the corner of a street and is small yet warm. It only takes two people to fill it up. There are two regular customers: a woman in a white dress who reads a book every day while sipping her hot coffee, and a man in a suit who sits by the window, reading a magazine and paying attention to every detail. Kazu runs around the back of the café, taking orders with a nonchalant expression. This book revolves around four individuals who either visit the cafe or work at the cafe, all different from each other, but one thing that brings them together is wanting to go back to the past. The book starts with a woman in her twenties named Fumiko hoping to go back to the past to meet Goro, her boyfriend, who chooses his dream. Fusagii, the man with the suit and a magazine sitting by the window waiting to meet his wife, remembers small details about him until every bit of memory that's left fades away. Sisters who hope to meet each other because of a small conflict that separated them, and finally a child hoping to meet their mother

I honestly loved this book a lot because this book has this feeling of warmness and cosines while reading it, especially with having 4 different stories in the book and each of the characters aligning to go the past and maybe changing this book is sweet I liked the first chapter it's a well-written book that leaves you happy after each story also after finishing each sorry this book leaves you thinking about many things in life and many decisions we humans make and how if we were able to go to the past for a short time how many things we could change but also be able to learn that changing one small thing from the past can change your whole future the book carries a great message of letting the past go because the past will always be the past no matter what we try or do it will be behind us what matters the most is what's ahead of us which is the future. The future that awaits each of us Overall I loved this book because I was able to learn many life lessons from it and have a different life view.
