Book 4 in the 'Before The Coffee Gets Cold' series.
While, I still like the series and also did enjoy this book, it is starting to get a little repetitive. It started to feel repetitive in the last book, but this one really made that obvious.
I honestly do not understand why we need to repeat the rules over and over in all the details. In about every chapter the rules are being explained again, sometimes multiple times...
●Story 1
Didn't start great but the ending was good.
●Story 2
Best story of this book. Emotional and shows that grief is not just reserved for other humans. [animal death]
●Story 3
Most forgettable of the stories and I think we had a similar one before.
●Story 4
Historically interesting and overall not bad.
Overall, I did enjoy this book, even though this was the weakest in the series for me so far.
I will be reading book 5 when it comes out but I hope that it gets over the repetitiveness.
And even if not, these are still overall enjoyable little reads.
