3.5

I can frankly say that the story in this book is just the same as the two previous books, there are not many significant differences. The storyline is literally the same but only with different topics in every chapter; each chapter is about another person ( mostly a customer ) in the cafe. One thing that I love to complete this series is that the story is just getting promising, and when I’m reading them I can feel the heartwarming in my gut, and because each story has its own lesson.

I can still feel the levity reading this, despite the stories feeling a little monotonous, especially toward the end, and the way the rules kept repeating in every chapter turning out to be unsettling for me.
