Review: Before Your Memory Fades

Before Your Memory Fades by Toshikazu Kawaguchi
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Great Read

This was an enjoyable read. This is the third book of the Before Your Coffee Gets Cold series. In this book, the stories do not take place in Café Funiculi Funicula in Tokyo, instead, the stories take place in Café Donna Donna in Hakodate. In Hakodate, we meet Nagare and Kazu filling in for his mother while she is travelling. She owns Café Donna Donna. I thought the stories were a wonderful addition to the many that we have already read in the previous books. In every book, the author is able to bring up themes of love, loss, grief, and moving on in such a beautiful way. I think this book teaches us how we should appreciate every moment in our lives because we will never know when we will have to go through troubling times and move on from them. If we learn how to do that, we can overcome any obstacle that is put in our paths. I cannot wait to read the fourth book in November. Overall, a great read.
