i didn't particularly care for the first or third story, however the second story made me silently cry, my heart broke into pieces when i realized what was happening in the last one.
fumiko's story felt so superficial and shallow that i didn't know if i was going to continue reading the book however, as pages go by you end up loving the characters as if they're a part of your life. i'd say it's a book worth reading as it is very atmospheric and it makes you reflect & feel a certain tenderness about living.

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!
