I liked the message of this book, and of course I cried like 5 times, but it just didn't hit the same as the first. The writing felt a bit off too, but maybe that's a translation issue? Still, it's a good cosy read and I did enjoy it overall

The first three stories in this installment were good but just lacked something for me. They either felt obvious in how they were going to go or I felt they were very similar to past stories. The last story picked up a bit and was my favourite of this set but still felt a little rushed. Overall still enjoyable but not my favourite of the series.
