If you could go back, who would you want to meet?
In a small back alley of Tokyo, there is a café that has been serving carefully brewed coffee for more than 100 years. Local legend says that this shop offers something else besides coffee - the chance to travel back in time.
Over the course of one summer, four customers visit the café in the hopes of making that journey. But time travel isn’t so simple, and there are rules that must be followed. Most important, the trip can last only as long as it takes for the coffee to get cold.
Heartwarming, wistful, mysterious, and delightfully quirky, Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s internationally best-selling novel explores the age-old question: What would you change if you could travel back in time?

Didn't finish it

I've asked quite a few people on how to deal with reading slump and most answered that I just have to wait. That this will eventually get away in time. So I waited months but nothing happened. Eventually, I noticed that of course, nothing will happen if I don't do anything. So I started this.
When I first read this on ebook, I barely finished a page or two. My mind just kept wandering around but later on, I forced myself and to my surprise, I finished a quarter of this with just one sitting! Unfortunately and fortunately, I read the second quarter and obviously, I had a hard time continuing but I passed through.
Then I figured out that maybe listening to audiobook will help and it did! Within a week, I finished the remaining half of the story and it felt so nice.
Moving on to the actual review. (I got too carried away talking.)
I thought that the book that'll get me out of reading slump is something light or maybe too great. But this one weren't. It was just an okay book. But what does this have that pulled me out of misery? I don't know. Maybe it is the time traveling part. Or that I cried on the first half so I kind of had the urge to know if the second half will make me again.
The book is good. I enjoyed the four stories. I don't know if the last part was considered a twist because it was already obvious that the pretty kid who visited the café on the present time was Nagare and Kei's child. There were confusing parts but most (not all) got answered along the way. And yes, that's it. I'm hoping for Kazu's story on the second book.
Reading on reading slump (not a good thing to do)
