Mini reviews ☆ If I never met you, Tales from the Café & I hope this doesn’t find you
I actually like doing these and combining few books in the same post. So here’s my last three books i’ve read!
If I never met you, Mhairi McFarlane
DNF @ 25%
This book had been standing on my shelves for so long.. at first an office “grown up” romance, I wasn’t too keen on it- but then as it was on my Spring TBR I decided to give it a go.. unfortunately, it wasn’t quite what I was promised.
That’s one thing I don’t like about adult books- this was taking so much time to mull over their separations and yada yada.. at 25%, we still hadn’t started the fake dating yet- which is too long for me as I had no intention on wanting to read about that.
Tales from the Café, Toshikazu Kawaguchi
4 ⭐️ / 5 stars
When I had first read before the coffee gets cold, I had said I wasn’t sure I was gonna read the others in the serie- well I changed my mind as I read this as an audiobook; I hadn’t known what I was in the mood to read and it was available to me in a format I hadn’t touch this year yet. I thought het why not!
Not much had happened since the first one, this is set 7yrs after the first novel and although it does look back from pas customer’s experiences, I do think it could work as a standalone of sort where you wouldn’t need to read the first beforehand. The last story especially made me cry, I love how the final morale of the novel being “you owe your lost ones your hapiness. Your hapiness is their legacy; otherwise they’d have died in vein”
I hope this doesn’t find you, Ann Liang

I had been highly hyped for this one as a new release, which ofcourse i’m only reading it now.. 😓This was the absolute opposite from the first one, we were already in the deep of it in Chapter 3 and omg- what a ride!
I absolutely love rival-to-lovers, always. The angst between Sadie & Julius, I’ve been pinning for them SO much 😭 Their bickering was funny at times, but also heatbreaking in others- especially towards the end.
Have you read either of these?
did you enjoyed them?
