Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi
5.0
This is a short book with a lot of emotional depth, built on a simple premise. I like the core of each story is easy to relate to regardless of the specific situation. It definitely pulls on the heartstrings a bit. The magical premise was simple and easy to integrate, but doesn't over specify things so there are holes to poke.
I enjoyed how each person's individual story played into the larger group and the characters stick around in one way or another. It really emphasizes the importance of connection and relationships.
