★★★★
Bittersweet memories through time.
This fourth book in the ‘Before the coffee gets cold’ series is filled with deep emotions, just like the title suggested. This story brings a profound sense of sadness and introduces a special character – a human’s best friend which adds an exceptional layer to the story. It brought back memories of the precious moments I shared with my beloved dog during its final days.
By now, readers are well-familiar with the rules of time travel in Kawaguchi’s world. Each story is beautifully crafted, portraying time travelers grappling with their own shades of regret and sorrow. Kawaguchi’s writing captures the essence human emotion in a way that feels real and relatable.
This book is perfect for those who appreciate a blend of heartache and hope, and for anyone who has ever wished to turn back time, even if just for a moment
