Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi

i thought the separate stories connected incredibly well in the end, although it was somewhat repetitive as it went on. i also felt the dialogue was incredibly painful at times, & that the characters were rather… slow on the uptake. it was somewhat infuriating considering they supposedly knew the rules of the café & had been there for years, but then anytime someone would want to travel they were like “huh??” i also want to know more about the woman in the dress !!! who is she? would def recommend for anyone looking to get into short stories & will def be checking out the other stories.
