Fantastic beginning of the year with a 5⭐ book. A feel-good book.

The story is set in a cafe that enables time travel, of course one will have to follow certain rules for that to happen with the most important rule to drink the coffee 'Before the coffee gets cold'. There are four chapters in the book with four female characters as the central character.

The story is simple, fast paced and emotional. 
The stories are written in a way that by the end of the chapter it will bring tears to the eyes of the reader. The characters have recurrent presence across the stories which makes them interconnected.

The author has conveyed the underlying emotions of each of the characters in a way that it reaches our heart in the warmest way possible.

Does this book deserve the hype it has received? 100% yes.
