I’ve been wanting to read this for so long and I can finally say it was an experience. It’s the best feeling in the world when that book you’re anticipating delivers. I didn’t know what I was getting myself into but I didn’t expect this and I’m not disappointed. The connection to everyone in the café was beautifully done. It was sad but comforting and hopeful. The time traveling was intriguing. The author flipped what we all thought we knew and somehow made it better. I couldn’t predict what each character would do or say once they were in the hot seat—I was on the edge of my chair myself because some of them were pushing it. All the stories made me feel something and even made me tear up a little bit tbh. I will say, I had a bit of an issue pinpointing who was who at times but I fully intend to reread this in the future. Loved the concept and execution. I’m curious what the other books have in store for me.
