Today I finished my #cozybook of the month: Before Your Memory Fades by Toshikazu Kawaguchi. I love the series so much, I thought it was the perfect #cozyread to finish this year with. I hesitated a lot over giving this book four stars because I really did love it. But I know I loved it more because it was a part of the “Before the coffee gets cold” series. I realized that what was bothering me is the fact that this book was too focused on dealing with death and what I liked about the previous ones is that the motivations in the other books are more diverse. I do have to say that the writing and the story is as beautiful as the other books and the characters are as lovable as they were, but maybe it would not be as good if it was a stand-alone (At least for me). That said, I cried like a baby, and I am going to be revisiting this series many times in the future. Now for the Spoilers. I was a little angry about Nanako’s the fact that Nanako’s departure to America also meant her death. Not only because I got to be really fond of her character but also because I was expecting her story to go in a different direction. I thought Kawaguchi was going to focus more on the difference between Reji’s and Nanako’s relationship compared to Todoroki and Setsuko’s and it would make more of a point to validate both. But again, I was just expecting something different and Kawaguchi just decided to rip my heart out of my chest right there on that last page. I have no regrets though. . . . #bookstagram #instabook #bookphotography #bookporn #igbooks #ilovereading #bookhaul #bookworm #booksofinstagram #bookwormproblems #bookaholic #bookpic #newreads #booknerd #Bookstagrammer #cozy #Cozycorner #readingchallange #Bookreview #girlswhoread #readersofinsta #bookishpost #bookrec #booksbooksandmorebooks #bookreviewers #bookblogger #booklover (at Bookstagram) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmUkskDN4UV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
