I loved the concept of this. Didn't care for the execution.
I get what they were going for, I really do, but everything felt pointless. The characters were only there to make the story move along, and our protagonist didn't actually grow or anything. In the end she just said "Oh yeah!! Now I know everything!! I've learned that I need to work on myself and fix my mistakes, and not just pretend they didn't happen!!" Which, yes, is important, but she never actually got to that point. She went from her ignorant self to an all-knowing being in the blink of an eye.
At the end, everything else also turned out perfect. Everything just conveniently turned out exactly how she wanted.
It was cute, but it didn't do anything for me.
