Dreamers of the Full Moon Coffee Shop

I have recently been on a roll reading small Japanese translations of books which interweave individual stories into a satisfying conclusion at the end of the book.  They are the ultimate "feel good" stories.  I expected Mai Mochizuki's novel Dreamers of the Full Moon Coffee Shop (#1,384) to follow the same pattern, and it mostly did but with a distinctively astrological flair.  This is the third book in this series, so I will have to see if I can track down the first two.

Here the stories of Satsuki, a rising film and TV star and best-selling author Wataru Ayuzawa are linked together.  As the stories progress, it becomes clear who the link is that ties these two disparate characters together.  The enjoyment is in the ride to get there.
