I’ve heard a lot about the “Before your coffee gets cold” series, and when I came across the third book from it in my local bookshop I knew I had to have it on my shelf ✨
It’s an easy read, with excellent, realistic writing that captures the bustle a coffee shop. There are no overloaded descriptions—only the essentials— even these create an amazing picture.
At first, I was overwhelmed by the number of characters and their somewhat complicated relationships. A few pages in the first story “The Daughter”, I forgot about my worries. The author made it easy to navigate.
My favorite story is “The daughter”— perhaps because I’m a mother to two girls 😅 Second favorite is “The sister”, as it reminded me of past experiences with my cousins.
If you’re as sensitive as I am, keep a box of tissues at hand. And if you’d like, enjoy a cup of hot filter coffee while you read ☕️
