5.0
Did this series NEED another book? No. Am I glad this sequel was written? ABSOLUTELY! This book gives a fitting conclusion to the Morisaki Bookshop and continues to address so many different life issues in a beautiful tragedy that celebrates life. I read because eventually a book (series) like this one will come along and really make me feel something.

Another slice of life, heart wrenching book, where not much happens but also everything happens.
This made me cry, so be prepared.
Favourite quotes (definite spoilers)
"Thank you for crying over me," Momoko said. "When you're sad, don't try to hold it in. It's ok to cry a lot. The tears are there because you've got to go on living, which means there'll be more things to cry about. They'll come at you from all sides. So don't ever try to hide from the sadness. When it comes, cry it out. It's better to keep moving forward with sadness; that's what it means to live."
It was trivial little moments like this that kept coming back to me after she died. In those moments, it felt like I had a gaping hole in my heart. That's what it was like losing someone precious to you. I felt it now in so many different places and in so many different ways.
This made me cry, so be prepared.

I liked this book and the first one a lot!!! Nice and relaxing and thoughtful. Like, it’s not the most eventful of books but you need to read things like that sometimes, very glad I read this one!

La segunda entrega de la serie de Satoshi Yagisawa, continúa destacando por su capacidad para retratar sentimientos y personajes, pero se siente desconectada del primer libro.
Aunque las relaciones siguen siendo las mismas, gran parte del inicio se dedica a explicar de nuevo las dinámicas entre los personajes, lo que ralentiza la narración.
Además, algunos personajes, parecen haber cambiado el peso dentro de la historia, perdiendo la empatía que genera la historia en el primer libro.
Aún así con sus peros su forma de escribir es exquisita.
