Cafe Unfiltered is exactly what it appears to be. You’re sitting in a coffee shop, people watching, as you do. and you wonder what each persons life is like. why are they there, what are their hopes. Their struggles. 

Cafe unfiltered is going into the minds of everyone in the coffee shop. there’s no one main character, you just jump around the cafe in time and space going through what everyone is saying and thinking and it’s so cool and engaging, u feel like u scratched the surfaces of all these people.

I must say though that it’s incredibly european centric, but that’s neither here nor there, as it was written by a french guy in french for i assume french people, but i liked it anyway. 

if u like people watching, coffee, and are fine with references to contemporary culture (lots of stuff about covid that brought back some not fun memories) then ud like this book. 

I liked it a lot.
