Okay, I know I probably should have been prepared, especially considering the themes a lot of JDramas, etc. like to highlight, but I wasn't expecting the emotional, tear inducing tales that came from this cafe!
I started thinking I was stepping into a cosy, reflective time and got heart rendering stories instead.
While I now sport a crying induced headache, it was a book written with depth and heart, so I've got to say it was really great! But just don't forget your tissues!
