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!
