piękna książka, daje dużo do myślenia. ale widać że jest napisana przez mężczyznę po tym ile razy faceci mówią Kazu żeby zdecydowała się urodzić dziecko, gdy jeden z nich nawet jej nie zna 🤡

The structure is very repetitive.
I don't appreciate the author's messages concerning pregnancy, miscarriage and giving your life up for a child.
The intention of the message is sweet but the delivery leaves a bigger aftertaste. It wasn't for me.

Much like the first book, Tales from the Café continues to have the unique capability of giving you the same warm and cozy feeling as a warm cup of coffee. Specifically, a warm cup of coffee that makes you cry and helps you learn how to be happy.

I especially loved the use of the seasons in this novel, I felt like the gradual changing of seasons in each story perfectly accented the mood that was supposed to be carried across to the reader. And, while the stories themselves were pretty similar to those in the first book, Kawaguchi still found beautiful ways to make them interesting and just as touching (if not more, since I feel like I could personally relate to some of these stories more than those in the first novel). I also loved that Kawaguchi made the effort to further the development of Nagare and especially Kazu's characters; it absolutely warmed my heart to see Nagare interacting with his daughter and finally having a glimpse into both Kazu's life outside of the café and her internal struggles truly made this book worth reading.

"Antes que o café arrefeça", o livro anterior a este, é um dos meus livros favoritos por isso quando vi este à venda fiquei muito entusiasmada e comprei-o de imediato. Visto que adorei o primeiro livro, comecei "De Regresso a Tóquio" com expectativas muito altas. Isto poderia ter dado para o torto caso este livro não atingisse as minhas expectativas, no entanto, assim como o anterior este também me fez sentir os sentimentos e dilemas das personagens como se fossem meus e envolveu-me novamente no ambiente do café Funiculi Funicala com a sua iluminação acolhedora e o cheiro de café acabado de fazer. As novas personagens introduzidas e as suas respetivas histórias são feitas de uma bela complexidade tipicamente humana dando ainda mais prazer à leitura deste livro. Concluindo, recomendo muito este livro, assim como o anterior.
