4.5
These books focus heavily on grief and loss, with bitter-sweet observances on how one continues on after a loved one has gone.
If somehow you're skipping to this book, this series isn't really cosy, happy cafe vibes. They are heartache and tears.
With the amount of crying I do over these books it feels a little like torture with the headaches and sniffles, but I can admire the depth of storytelling, so I can't help but also really like them.
