4.5 stars. The Chinese name of this book is 在谎言拆穿之前 or “Before the Lie Gets Exposed” (which I believed is a direct translation of the Japanese name). I think this name gives a better indication of the type of stories in this book. The first book was more about the people who time-travelled, but this book was also about the owners of the cafe and more about the ghost. I cried less in this book, but I enjoyed the unfolding of the stories behind the regular characters. As per the previous book, this was a healing read, and nudges readers towards liberation from grief, regrets and guilt through the stories.
