Before the Coffee Gets Cold by Toshikazu Kawaguchi
2.5
this book felt like an eulogy of selfless women who are willing to give up everything for mediocre men and honestly, i've had enough of that, thank you.
some parts were truly heartbreaking and that's why i'm not giving this book 1 star, but the writing felt very juvenile and this constant theme of women sacrificing themselves for men is starting to make me angry.
1. if a man feels emasculated by your success, LEAVE HIM.
2. your husband is treating you like you're almost inexistent (i'm talking before he had Alzheimer, way before that) you don't just say things like 'oh he's just like that' no, absolutely not.
3. you do not have to sacrifice your life to give birth (i feel like the reason why she desperately wanted a child weren't clear but my point still stands, you do not need to sacrifice yourself, your life is more important than that of an embryo or even a foetus)
