Tales from the Cafe

This book is beautifully written with an equally beautiful message. Kawaguchi's characters feel so real and relatable. Their personal growth feels organic and true, not having forced a happily-ever-after upon them. The resolutions seem simple when reading them, but there is a lot that happens in one's soul to get there. Kawaguchi's characters display this brilliantly, showing a respect for the person and their personal thoughts while communicating the personal journey to the reader. I love this book as much as the first.
