Graphic: Death and Death of parent
I've only read this one and 'Before the Coffee Goes Cold' and felt that this was a little flat in comparison.
Don't get me wrong, it still hits the heart strings, but I felt that the stories were less gripping. I suppose this is part of what happens when the characters all go through the same act of goes through the past. Like those working at the café, perhaps the reader loses the feeling of being emotional as the concept becomes more familiar.
