Great story with some really emotional moments that brought tears to my eyes.
The novel would‘ve benefitted from a more vivid language.

Numa altura em que a minha saúde mental está muito abalada, ler este livro foi como meditar, mais do que qualquer outra leitura que fiz, este anestesiou a minha ansiedade quando eu mais precisei. Recomendo este livro pela mensagem que passa nos seus 4 contos/capítulos e porque a vibe que passa é tão tranquila.
Adorava que fizessem uma adaptação anime desde livro, seria um ótimo slice of life nas mãos da Kyoto Animation, por exemplo.

If a book makes me cry, I find that it’s a good book. A chapter of this book had me bawling.
A short but packed read. I really enjoyed the world it took me to and the stories inside just one cafe. If you’re a fan of the real world with a bit of magic, you will like this!

A coffee shop where, if you sit in a specific seat and follow a very strict set of rules, you can travel back (and forth) in time.
The idea is pretty nice and I liked most of the book apart from the last of the four stories.
I still want to read the other books but they’re not high up on my priority list.

This is a short book with a lot of emotional depth, built on a simple premise. I like the core of each story is easy to relate to regardless of the specific situation. It definitely pulls on the heartstrings a bit. The magical premise was simple and easy to integrate, but doesn't over specify things so there are holes to poke.
I enjoyed how each person's individual story played into the larger group and the characters stick around in one way or another. It really emphasizes the importance of connection and relationships.
