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

This book hits differently once you've experienced death. I guess... don't know, I haven't read it without that context tbf, but hey, the logic adds up 🤷🏻♀️
Get ready to feel the feels, and to appreciate life on a new level. There's nothing like a wake-up call to get you there, even when it's fictional and vicarious.
Digestible vocabulary, length and (my paperback copy - the only version out there? 🤔) has a nice text to space ratio + nice font type and size.
One of those reads that aren't super high-effort to pick up but rather a read you seek out every opportunity to escape into. Oh the pleasure of an affair with a good book 📕

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!

I have read this slowly, just a few pages a night. It's a cute and lighthearted book, but I have to be honest, I thought it was going to be more like The Midnight Library. I'm aware that TML was more about possibilities rather than actual time travel, but I felt like this book turned out to be different than what I expected, not necessarily in a bad way but yeah... It had more potential, so I don't think I'll read the rest of the series.
