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.

This was such a great sequel. One of the best i’ve read. I absolutely loved the first book and this one gave me the same warm hopeful feeling. We got to learn more about the characters, uncover unfinished ends from the first book, and get some closure on some things. It is such a phenomenal series. It is warm, heartwarming but also sad, and really helps you focus on the good of life and death. I recommend these books to everyone. I think these could be great for anyone with regrets or with loss of a person. I will read these again and again.
