3 Books You Can Read In One Sitting

Layla by Colleen Hoover

Leeds is certain he will spend the rest of his life with Layla when they first meet, but a surprise attack leaves Layla battling for her life. Despite spending weeks in the hospital, Layla eventually makes a full physical recovery, but the emotional and mental scars have changed the Layla that Leeds fell in love with. Leeds whisks Layla away to the B&B where they first met in an effort to get their relationship back on track. Layla’s actions get strange as soon as they get there. And that’s only one of many bizarre events.

Leeds, who is feeling distant from Layla, quickly connects with Willow, another B&B visitor, with whom he establishes a bond since they have similar worries. His choice to assist Willow in seeking information puts him squarely in opposition to Layla’s welfare as his interest in Willow deepens. Leeds quickly understands that he needs to pick one of them because he can’t help both of them. But if he makes the incorrect decision, it may be harmful for everyone.

Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi

Who would you like to meet if you could go back? There is a café in Tokyo that has been selling expertly prepared coffee for more than a century in a tiny back lane. According to local lore, this café also gives the opportunity to travel through the past in addition to coffee.

Four clients stop by the café throughout the course of one summer, hoping to go there. But there are regulations that must be observed when time travel is involved. Most importantly, the journey can only go on for as long as the coffee is warm.

Toshikazu Kawaguchi’s worldwide acclaimed book examines the age-old question: What would you alter if you could go back in time? It is heartwarming, sad, mysterious, and deliciously offbeat.
