Before the coffee gets cold is an insightful and heartwarming book that is very easy to read and understand. Its simple writing style it's strength but sometimes it feels like the author over-explains how the characters feel instead of trusting the readers to come to those conclusions themselves. Nonetheless, the stories are a great read, that leave a bittersweet, hopeful taste in your mouth.

Sweet and fun sci-fi book. Is it all that groundbreaking? No. Is it a cool short read? Yeah. The characters are very flat and undeveloped and the whole book is short but its fun and definitely different.
