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 Sunday read - perfect little bitesized chunks to read over the day.

I enjoyed this one more than the first one. Maybe because I knew the backstory?

This did not resonate with me as hard as the first book of the series. It did explain more of the system behind the magic and I thought that it was well thought out. There are some wonderful quotes to keep in mind when regarding relationships that still exist in the present. 
This book primarily takes place after the events of the first book with glimpses to earlier moments. We get to see who the ghost is by way of someone returning 30 years to the past. In that chapter we learn three rules for those who pour the coffee

they must be female and of a specific line, they must be at least seven years old, and one more. They will lose the ability to take someone to the past once they have become pregnant with a girl, as the power will leave the mother for the baby.

I do wish the reveal had come earlier but we also had last-chapter reveals in the first book so that may be a stylistic choice.
