This is definitely my least favorite out of the series but I will admit that I started to feel choked up reading the ending. Not because I was particularly connected to the characters but rather because I was shocked, frustrated, and on the bus of all places.

One of my biggest qualms with this book, and I might of mentioned the same thing for the last one, but it's quite annoying how the rules of time travel is still being explained. It's the third book, us readers are very well aware of the rules by now. You could easily read the books out of order because of this.

The world of characters has greatly broadened in comparison to the other books but the book is just as short. Old characters are mentioned but given so little attention and growth that they may as well have died.

I'm obviously being very critical cus I have so much love for this cozy coffee world but, even with my complaints, if Kawaguchi comes out with another book, i will read it.

I thought this book was especially heavy-handed, even when in comparison with the first two.  I didn't like that it was date stamped (set in 2030) and how every story revolved around early death or suicidal ideation.  Through a trip to the past, every depressed person miraculously found the strength to keep on living!  In comparison to the first two books in the series, the stories in here really lacked variety and a sense of urgency.

but then again, maybe I'm just cold-hearted.

"Something I strongly believe is that we mustn't allow the death of a person to be the cause of unhappiness. The reason for that is simple: if we let everyone who dies be a cause for unhappiness, that would mean people are being born to become unhappy. But the opposite in fact is true. People are always born for the sake of happiness."

This third volume was the saddest of the series so far, but I loved the change of scene and the device of the book to tie the stories together. It is also nice to see the recurring characters continue to grow.

I liked the little morales that we got from this book but there was too many characters for me to get invested in their story
