This is... a very expected sequel; the flaws and the perks of this book are the same as the first one. Other than everything I've written about the first book, I also want to add that I really liked the woman in the dress's role in this book.

Repetitive in parts but the author has a knack for tapping into emotions unlike many others I’ve read.

There is something unique about these books. It’s not the most dramatic, and I wasn’t desperate to keep the pages turning. But I with was with the story the whole way through. I think this is the type of book that is soul nourishing.

Emotional, reflective, and funny where it needs to relieve itself. I think I liked this more than the first book in this series. But, it’s close! There is some repetition of the rules of the cafe which I find redundant. However, as they read as short stories it’s not too tiring to read them again.

Teary-eyed and sobbing quietly while reading this precious book in a cafe. Definitely a book that i will read every once in while to remind myself that life is worth it and i, too, deserve to be happy.
