This is 3.5 for me.It was nice. I liked it enough. But it wasn't addicting or phenomenal to me. However I might be the wrong crowd cause I'm enough mental disorders into a lack of emotions. The 3rd and 4th story had me thinking a bit. Its definitely more magical realism than fantasy. It also didn't have some the time travel explained well enough and other parts repeated too often.It's wasn't bad. It wasn't amazing. It was just good. Will I read the next book? Probably yeah.
Lo leí porque quería algo ligero o cozy, pero tiene momentos duros y emotivos. De todos modos, es una linda lectura que puedo recomendar y que te deja un lindo recuerdo.

Divided into four distinct sections, “Before the Coffee Gets Cold” offers a delightful and swift reading experience that whisks readers away to an enchanting café where patrons have the unique ability to time-travel, albeit with the crucial stipulation that they must return before their coffee cools. Within this intriguing setting, we delve into the lives of four characters, each grappling with their own pasts—seeking to mend broken relationships, find closure, or convey heartfelt messages to their loved ones through the magic of time travel.“. . . as the future hasn’t happened yet, I guess that’s up to you. . .”While the narrative unfolds at a leisurely pace and leans heavily on dialogue rather than vivid descriptions—a stylistic choice I personally cherish, though it may not resonate with everyone—I found myself utterly captivated by the stories and the poignant lessons interwoven throughout. The experience was a bittersweet journey, rich with endearing moments that showcased individuals from diverse backgrounds striving to reconnect with those they hold dear. Through their attempts, they come to realize that while they may not be able to completely alter the past, they can certainly learn from it and allow its echoes to touch their lives in meaningful ways.“I was so absorbed in the things that I couldn’t change, I forgot the most important thing.”────୨ৎ────⤷ Thank you for reaching to this point here and I’m really glad and thankful for you, love you ⟡.
Repetitive and overexplained. It felt like a beginning of a mediocre movie where they try tell you the whole context in the first dialogue and don't give the space to figure it out along the way.The writing was very secondary school like but I'll blame it on the translation
1.5⭐I have nothing about this except that I found the story really boring and got nothing out of it. if I wasn't reading via audio I probably would've DNFed
