Tales from the Cafe

I was sooo touched by several scenes and had to cry so hard because it was so heartwarming or because I could feel the same the character was feeling, I couldn’t let go of the book and enjoyed it soooo much, ITS A MUST READ

I just love this series! It picked right back up where we left off at the end of book no. 1. The backstory carries through and goes along while we get to meet new people who want to get the chance to speak to loved ones again. Though I wasn't ready to cry in the first story already, I'm definitely not complaining! The author really understands how to write beautiful stories and relationship dynamics. It's also very interesting to see how descriptions and explanations differ from most of our western literature. While the story and the characters are certainly written more subtly, there's still that connection you form with the characters and their own backstories. Plus, the profound exploration of relationships and the conclusions definitely made me reflect and think on so many things.

Four new people are using the time traveling cafe to visit old friends, family and lovers. With a beginning sadness in each story the author knows how to bring hope to each of the travelers. Again a beautiful take on the question would you go back to the past?

Die Fortsetzung vom japanischen Bestseller „Before the coffee gets cold“. Es war genauso spannend und interessant wie der erste Band, auch die Charaktere bekommen noch mehr Hintergrundinformationen und wachsen einem damit nur noch mehr ans Herz

"If you could go back, who would you want to meet?" I really enjoyed the second part in the series as well. We are back in the café and are introduced to some new and old characters. The short stories are bittersweet and captivating, just as we are used from the first part. I really enjoyed it, even though I have to say, that it was not as strong as the first book. I am looking forward to part three!
