B–efore the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi
I read this one a couple of years ago, and it instantly became a favourite. We follow different people and take a deep look into their relationships. It is a commentary on life itself, the difficult situations we might face, and simply say and do the things we want before it’s too late.
This series has 5 books published as of now, highly recommended.
