A pretty quick read with a really inspiring message! Very character driven, and I loved the overall premise of the story. The time travel was unique and grounded with rules that made it feel even more real. I particularly loved how everything tied together, like the relationships of different characters we saw throughout each of the 4 stories, which was something I hadn't expected do be done so well. I will say it was a tad slow for my taste, and I also found certain parts to be overly repetitive (especially the rules). But overall, a really good read!

Although I thought the repetitiveness of the rules really drove home stakes of traveling through time, at a certain point it began to feel like a nuisance.
