In Japanese mythology, it is said that if you are kind to a cat one day the cat may return the favor. Under the light of the Kyoto full moon there sits a coffee shop unlike any other. Under the guise of a mobile pop up cafe, it exists out of space and time, and can only be found by those who need it. You will never order anything while you visit. Instead, talking cats will bring to you a tailored menu meant to nourish the body and soul. While you enjoy your treat, these astrology inclined kitties will read to you your natal chart and set you down a path of self discovery and acceptance. The Full Moon Coffee Shop is a truly charming novella full of wonder and magic. It follows the lives of five individuals, like you or me, who have lost their way and are at a crossroads. They must make a decision, with the help of some magical cats. It was a perfect cozy read - lighthearted but still profound in the way unique to Japanese literature. I can’t wait to see what happens next! Thank you to NetGalley and Random House Publishing Group - Ballantine who provided me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
