Under the energetic star of Neptune the doors to people’s hearts are opening…

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 bright moon.
Under one such moon in August, Neptune pays the Full Moon Coffee Shop a visit, taking the form of a beautiful human called Sala. Sala’s special talent is giving people dreams and helping them to open their hearts. As the cats work with Sala, they find new ways to guide people as their customers face personal conflict.
When Satsuki, returning home after she spent three years away with minimal contact, decides to introduce her new boyfriend to her mother Fujiko, she learns an unexpected truth about her family’s past.
Meanwhile, Fujiko is struggling to come to terms with her true feelings about her place in life and author Wataru is facing writer’s block after years of success. Can Sala and the cats help Fujiko and Wataru open their hearts?
Beautifully weaving together three people in a story about love in all forms, this heartwarming novel in the USA Today bestselling series highlights the importance of being true to oneself and recognizing one’s innermost feelings.

I’ve loved the previous two books in this series, so immediately wanted to get my hands on this one when I heard it was coming out. Once again we follow the cats who run the Full Moon Coffee shop and the people who come to them. As with the other two, there are connections in this one to the previous one (Satsuki, who was prominent in one of the stories in Best Wishes from the Full Moon Coffee Shop, returns in this one) and while it follows a similar format – this one is more insular. It focuses on Satsuki’s mother and her childhood friend. While it has a similar theme of their astrology and how the elements/signs in their birth chart may influence them, this one took a different spin in that it really touched on messing with space and time, and all the different possibilities of lives one may have depending on the choices they make.
While I’ve really enjoyed the way the previous books had more loosely connected people, this one being just about a small unit and piecing together the way they could adjust their paths in lives and satisfy their hearts. Some of the reveals were pretty easy to piece together, but seeing how everything came together and resolved was amazing. It’s definitely a tearjerker so make sure you have your tissues handy.
Dreamers of the Full Moon Coffee Shop comes out on August 25th, so make sure to pick up a copy!
Happy reading!
