Definitely one of the weirdest/surrealistically plotted books I’ve read in a while! Lots of emotional/humorous ups and downs! Had me hooked from the first page!

Although the premise wasn't the most creative, I did enjoy its execution. The book actually avoids most technicalities regarding the time travel and focused more on the relational effects, and I didn't mind at all. Just when I started to wonder how the story would be wrapped up considering the chosen pace and events, there was a plot twist that took care of that. Didn't see it coming but wasn't too surprised about it either, since the hint dropping was so obvious you knew there was more to it. Would probably have enjoyed it more if I didn't read it right after Matt Haigs Midnight Library, but nevertheless the story captured my attention and turned out a very decent read.
