I recently lost my mom so this book gives me a lot of hope and reflection on myself. I really appreciate the book that gives everyone some kind of closure. And the part about losing a baby and the happiness that left. And the change of the perspective for all the characters, and letting them be happy. Really helped me in my own dark and cold winter. Amazing book.

Again, the book was very moving and inspiring. The theme of it centered around grief, but also moving on. Furthermore, we learn more about the past of the staff of the Café.
Despite this book being part of a series, I think it’s still possible to follow the stories without having read the first book. Nonetheless, it is still better to read the first book first to get the full picture.

Having read the first one, I knew I was in for an emotional wallop and this one sure delivered. I think I liked it more. I really enjoyed that Kazu got some closure.

This did not resonate with me as hard as the first book of the series. It did explain more of the system behind the magic and I thought that it was well thought out. There are some wonderful quotes to keep in mind when regarding relationships that still exist in the present.
This book primarily takes place after the events of the first book with glimpses to earlier moments. We get to see who the ghost is by way of someone returning 30 years to the past. In that chapter we learn three rules for those who pour the coffeethey must be female and of a specific line, they must be at least seven years old, and one more. They will lose the ability to take someone to the past once they have become pregnant with a girl, as the power will leave the mother for the baby. I do wish the reveal had come earlier but we also had last-chapter reveals in the first book so that may be a stylistic choice.
