The premise seemed interesting and like it would be a heartwarming read but it just couldn’t keep my attention. It also felt needlessly sad

I thought this would be more sad - it was, but at the same time hopeful. A melancholic read about regret, love and time.

Fittingly, this book benefits from going back for a second visit. There are lots of subtle, beautiful interactions between characters that I didn’t fully appreciate the first time, but that hit harder and made more sense the second time. 

Give the time-travel mechanics some grace and you’ll have a better experience. Its both a cute story that tugs at heartstrings at times and a mental exercise in acceptance and releasing control of things that happened in the past.

3.5 stars overall: 3 for round one, 4 for round two.
