Oh, how this one made me absolutely cry. I adore these characters; Kazu, Miki, Nagare. The people that come into their cafe and the stories and how they intertwine with the first book (albeit lightly) is just *chefs kiss*.

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.
