Before Your Memory Fades (Before the Coffee Gets Cold, 3)

Product Information

People’s true feelings are not in plain sight. The other person might not be thinking anything, but there is a tendency to just assume what the other is feeling without reaching out and asking.” Inside every person is an inherent capability to make it through any kind of difficulty. Everyone has that energy. But sometimes when that energy flows via our anxiety valve, the flow can be restricted. The greater that anxiety, the greater the strength needed to open the valve and release the energy. Kawaguchi once again touches upon themes as love, loss, grief, and finding joy again after loss. The stories will definitely touch your heart. I liked the interactions between the characters, and their stories.

Well, I read that when you give a gift to someone who is striving to achieve their dreams, you have to give them the most cherished thing you have. Some days, that person who is chasing their dreams will not be able to find the strength to keep going. It will be bitter and painful, and they will have to weigh up their dreams and reality to make a choice. When that happens, the person gifted with the most precious thing will be able to fight on a little more. It apparently helps them to feel they are not alone. So, I'm giving you this book because I want you to fight for your dream.'"

un'antologia di storie gradevoli, ma tutto sommato non era necessario dopo aver letto i primi due libri della trilogia.

I do enjoy my visits and I like listening to the audiobook versions of these stories because I can absorb the story better without tripping over names and locations.Overall, while I did enjoy this book, I didn't find it as emotionally hard-hitting or satisfying as the previous installment, Before the Coffee Gets Cold: Tales from the Café, which remains my favorite among the three books in the series. i hadn’t felt this with books 1 and 2, but this final installment had me thinking “if you’ve read one, you’ve read them all” :( Inside every person is an inherent capability to make it through any kind of difficulty. Everyone has that energy. But sometimes when that energy flows via our anxiety valve, the flow can be restricted. The greater that anxiety, the greater the strength needed to open the valve and release the energy. That strength is empowered by hope. You could say that hope is the power to believe in the future.” it took me exactly 4 months to finish this super short book as i just didn’t feel the same magic i had in the previous installments
