The Full Moon Coffee Shop by Mai Mochizuki & Jesse Kirkwood digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Translated from the Japanese bestseller, a charming and magical novel that reminds us it’s never too late to follow our stars.

“Mochizuki dazzles in her beautifully crafted contemporary fantasy debut. . . . This gentle fantasy is not to be missed.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review (Best Books of the Year)

In Japan, cats are a symbol of good luck. As the myth goes, if you are kind to them, they’ll one day return the favor. And if you are kind to the right cat, you might just find yourself invited to a mysterious coffee shop under a glittering Kyoto moon.

This particular coffee shop is like no other. It has no fixed location, no fixed hours, and it seemingly appears at random.

It’s also run by talking cats.

While customers at the Full Moon Coffee Shop partake in cakes and coffees and teas, the cats also consult their star charts, offering cryptic wisdom, and letting them know where their lives veered off course.

Every person who visits the shop has been feeling more than a little lost. For a down-on-her-luck screenwriter, a romantically stuck movie director, a hopeful hairstylist, and a technologically challenged website designer, the coffee shop’s feline guides will set them back on their fated paths. For there is a very special reason the shop appeared to each of them . . .

Smiling Face with Heart-Eyes“The full moon Coffee shop by Mai Mochizuki translated by Jesse Kirkwood. Such a beautiful book that talks about astrology and teaches us simple yet profound lessons guiding people to live their lives in the present . The story is a mix of astrology and fantasy in a real world setting and it has a delicious descriptions of food . One can't help but wish to have these. I also loved the pictures of the desserts depicted in the book . I am extremely satisfied with this one. It has such a cozy vibe .I mean a cafe run by cats that helps people to understand themselves and at the same time offers delicious food that relieves people ; that too free of cost . I am jealous . Oh how I wish to encounter such a dreamy cafe . On a weary day with a cup of coffee and icecream this book is a perfect go to go. ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ / 5 If you like my reviews please support me on my Instagram. __.busy reading 💕”
