Whether it's love, a second chance, or a sign of something greater, the cafe is more than just an ordinary coffee shop; it's a place for serendipitous encounters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSi-Ying, a young woman working at the cafe, harbours a secret crush on the handsome Ze-Yu, who is always surrounded by a string of girlfriends. However, her life takes a turn when she befriends the quirky and earnest A-Tuo, who introduces her to a vibrant cast of characters who aren't what they seem to be, including a triad boss who is a cinephile and a laundromat boss who whips up exquisite dishes worthy of the Michelin stars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs Si-Ying's friendship with A-Tuo deepens, she begins to realise that her true feelings may not be for Ze-Yu after all. Within the cafe's walls, moments of quiet reflection reveal profound truths, and amidst the wait for someone else, Si-Ying learns that sometimes the most significant journey is the one inward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTranslated from the Taiwanese by Shanna Tan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47627770331372,"sku":"9781035434237","price":37.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781035434237-caf-waiting-love.jpg?v=1778631254","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/cafe-waiting-love-by-giddens-ko-9781035434237","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
