Being the 2nd book, I didn't expect it to be such a moving piece. The stories really spoke to me & I enjoyed the atmosphere a lot.

The stories are so powerful and this one really hit one, living with regret and guilt and shame isn’t worth it. it was a beautiful story especially the last chapter “husband and wife,” really did it for me. The ending was super unexpected.

“She smiled warmly,” and just like that — wow. beautiful.
