I often like to go to bookstores and pick up books I’ve heard nothing or very little about and give them a go which is how i stumbled across this pretty translated one! In this story you hear about 4 different parallel lives a student in university could have had depending on what club they chose to join on their first day. The first 3 stories are very similar which is where I started to get a little bored but the fourth was completely different and my favourite overall. The second in the series was translated last year which i might search for 👀 the covers are also gorgeous, and so detailed which i love 💕 definitely a strange read but it was quick and fun which was nice!
