This series is lovely, although the books are almost the same. Nothing new really happened in this book, it was just a new set of characters that visited the café. The critiques I have heard about this series is that it is very repetitive - and I 100% agree. I do also get the characters mixed up, because I try to remember if they were in the previous book.
Graphic: Child death and Death of parent
Moderate: Death, Suicidal thoughts, and Pregnancy
