‘How much sadder can these tearjerker stories get? I’m immune now’ I thought. 

I was wrong, I cried like a baby. Overall, a pleasant read even though it deals with some heavy topics. I like the moral of the story a lot.

I do love whenever I find a book series where I want to take each book and swallow them up because they’re so good. Now, to be fair, I haven’t read the next books, but I’m pretty sure they will also be great. Personally, I really love the way that, although each of the four stories in each book is about a different character and why they time travel, they still are connected through a common thread of the people who run the café. Also the reveal about the Woman in White? Crazy.

Overall, this was a solid follow-up to Before the Coffee Gets Cold, set about 7 years after the original, and I enjoyed the reoccurring characters and that we got to learn more of Kazu’s backstory. I love the atmospheric setting of the Café Funiculi Funicula, and seeing it through the seasons, in each story as a new person travels to the past. Three of the four stories involve someone returning to visit a deceased loved one, and the messages of some of the stories felt a little on-the-nose but still hit hard emotionally. Though formulaic, these stories always touch me and I feel better for having read them.
