![Before the Coffee Gets Cold [Paperback] Kawaguchi, Toshikazu and Trousselot, Geoffrey](https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/W/IMAGERENDERING_521856-T1/images/I/71yLBmP3t2L._AC_UL160_SR160,160_.jpg)
Does a beautiful world exists?
"What if the meaning of life on earth is not eternal progress toward some unspecified goal- the engineering and production of more and more powerful technologies, the development of more and more complex and abstruse cultural forms? What if these things just rise and recede naturally, like tides, while the meaning of life remains the same always - just to live and be with other people?"
Four protagonists, Alice, Eileen, Felix and Simon, in their late twenties and early thirties, this is their story. Alice and Eileen are best friends, living far and they are connected through emails. Through their emails they discuss about everything happening around, insecurities, people they met, impact of social media, relationships, sex, friendship. Alice is a writer, Eileen works for magazine, Felix, who's a good singer too, and Simon are also settled with their own career.
All the characters are one way or another related to our lives! They weren't perfect, they had made mistakes, chose the wrong person to love, walked through wrong paths untill reaching the right! They had feelings, complexes and priorities.
At certain point, we stop and turn back to the life we lived. Life would have been much better if I had made that decision, but is there any use of regression for the choices we had made? No!
The book is developed through conversations, among the four, which is the highlight of the story. Conversation makes the relationship bond strong. Don't you think a healthy conversation can make difference?
We don't exist in a beautiful world, we need to create it with people, places, love, relationship, job that makes us happy. It's the decisions we made, people we chose to be with.
This book on friendship, relationship, love, sex, family, literally on everything will not disappoint you.
4.5/5 Stars.

I've been a typical sally rooney fan for a while and eventually got the urgue to buy this book but not gonna lie it's worth the hype!! I personally really like the effort she've been putting to each of the character Alice,Felix,Eileen and Simon to describe their different kind of emotions,and this book got a clear idea of a person who is going through psychiatric breakdowns and mental health problems also the small details in this book is exquisite to read too and last but not least she doesn't use any Quotation marks which is in my perspective is pretty significant ☺️
