內容簡介

內容簡介 「如果有一個故事能稱作我的第一雙翅膀， 它的名字，一定散發著暖暖的咖啡香氣。」——九把刀 (Giddens Ko)這輩子能有多少次心跳加速、話都說不出來的時候？我沒有談過戀愛，但我知道，一個對愛情有信仰的人，應該珍惜每一次心動的時刻，然後勇敢追尋下一次、再下一次、然後再下一次。小小的咖啡店裡，每一個人，都在等一個人。(書介 摘自春天出版《等一個人咖啡》)A coming of age story about growing up and finding love - perfect for fans of The Summer I Turned Pretty and The Perks of Being a Wallflower.In a small café in Hsinchu, Taiwan, everyone is waiting for something. Whether it's love, a second chance or a sign of something greater. More than just an ordinary coffee shop; this is a place for serendipitous encounters.Si-ying, a young woman working at the café, harbours a secret crush on the handsome Tse-yu, who regularly visits with a new girlfriend in tow. However, her life takes a turn when she befriends the quirky and earnest Ah Tuo. He takes her on adventures and introduces her to an eclectic mix of people who aren't what they seem to be - a triad boss who is a cinephile and a laundrette owner who whips up exquisite dishes worthy of Michelin stars (but only on a Sunday!).Feelings are complicated, Si-ying learns.Within the café's walls, moments of reflection reveal profound truths. Amidst the wait for someone else, Si-ying makes her most significant journey: the one to discovering herself.** Translated from the Chinese by Shanna Tan **
