Review of 'Before the Coffee Gets Cold' on 'Storygraph'
3 stars
I'm not going to comment on the writing because this was a translation.
This was definitely not something that I usually read but I enjoyed it. Being magical realism I hadn't expected obviously that we'd delve deeper into the whole time travel aspect. The characters were incorporated well into the story. I liked how everyone was involved. I liked all of the stories except for Fumiko & Goro's only because of the stereotypical portrayal of the characters. This was nothing too extraordinary, though.
