2.75-3⭐️ I enjoyed the first two stories. The third and the fourth ones were okay. The last one was heartbreaking but hopeful. I didn’t know anything about this book so I didn’t know what to expect and this was not what I expected at all lol
It’s about meeting new people and saying good bye, life and death.
