Before We Say Goodbye

Toshikazu Kawaguchi has fast become one of my favourite authors. I easily devoured this is one sitting with tears rolling down my cheeks - after reading 3 of their books, I no longer expect anything less! This book is an emotional dose of humanity, where love, loss, regrets and second chances are all on the menu and the premise is simply genius. I would highly recommend to all!

I love this series, so I started reading as soon as I received the ARC. And it did not disappoint. The first two episodes hit me very hard emotionally most, but really all episodes are beautiful and teach us important life lessons. To cherish each moment with someone dear to you and make the best choice you won’t regret. I’m a dog lover, so one episode about the pet loss made cry! And I loved the ending too.

The only dull moments are the time travel rules being repeated in each episode. (But what can an author do about it? Nothing because the time traveller does need to know them. )

Other than that, I loved every single page of this book. Highly recommend for people who love wholesome, comfort reads.

Before We Say Goodbye is the fourth book in the Before the Coffee Gets Cold series and it stands strong with the rest of the series!

For me this book hit the hardest of the four books, I cried at every single story. But this is truly a beautiful book, these stories contains circumstances that nearly everyone can emphasise with, that is backed up by Kawaguchi’s fantastic writing.

It’s hard to explain this book other than it just being deeply human, it shows the ugly emotions and personalities that humans have but it also shows the loving, understanding and courageous sides and for every bit of sadness in this book there is also comfort and closure that is just so up lifting.

I will always read whatever this author publishes because this series has just been so fantastic!
