Pembaca Bintang di Kedai Kopi Bulan Purnama

This is so cute. Heartwarming and comforting, with adorable cats and tasty food. I was expecting this to be a collection of short stories as the coffee shop moves to one location to another, but just as the blurb says, all five characters who received the cats' hospitality share a connection in the past. Their link to each other, as well as to the cats, is actually a lot deeper than I thought it'd be. It's really nice to see everyone heading towards a better life after learning more about themselves, and the ending does a marvelous job at soothing my withered crone soul.

The astrology part is surprisingly thorough, so that's one thing to keep in mind for those who aren't interested. The star reading sessions provide a lot of in-depth analysis based on natal charts, with extensive explanation about what each terminology means. It even goes into describing the twelve houses, complete with visualizations of the wheel chart. Personally, I love astrology and learned a lot of new information from this book, but I can see why some people might find it difficult to understand.

Seems like this is only the first volume of a three-book series. I wonder if Penerbit Baca is going to release the next two volumes too? I hope they do.
