A cozy book of interconnected vignettes about how important moments in relationships have the power to change us. At the Funiculi Funicula cafe in Tokyo, customers can travel in time, only it doesn’t change any outcomes and their trip ends by the time the coffee gets cold. 

The stories are poignant and I teared up at a couple of points, though the overall message is uplifting.
