Something is quite off for me about this book :(
I expected something else, I guess, that's why this didn't really live up to my expectation. It's interesting, combining cafe culture in Japan with time travels and all the regrets in life. It also showed that most of the time, the things that made the characters regretful are about communications (or the lack of it). They didn't say sorry, or didn't express their love, or simply can't say that they understand.
It's ok, but not stellar. ...more

Prompt: A book with a time-related word in the title
Things I liked:
1. discussion on coffee making
2. Japanese festival
Things that annoyed me:
1. I had to forgive the many rules of the time travel that reduced the encounters into just having a different version of a moment
2. Overly explained and repeated items
3. Inserting a flashback/life background story just before a time travel meet
