When I read Before the Coffee Gets Cold last year, I absolutely loved it and so I decided to finally get the follow-up novels.

Tales from the Cafe did not disappoint at all. Taking place seven years after the first novel it perfectly builds on everything that was established in it. Starring returnibg as well as new characters, who were each very unique and lovable.
Kawaguchi's characters and their stories always bring me so much emotions and I was very close to crying at the end of this novel which is always a thing to show me just how good a book truly is.

I can't wait to continue this series with Before your Memory Fades
