“You only live once. And if you do it right, once is all you need.” 

It’s 3 in the morning and I have to wake up early. Did it hinder me from finishing this book? Definitely not. Instant 5 stars. This was a buddy read with a close friend of mine and it took us a few months to finish (which was fine because she's not the type of reader like me who has a lot of time). Although I would have really love it more if I did read this in continuation. 

Clementine and Iwan are just the most adorable couple I've seen in a while. You can't help but root for their relationship, no matter what timeline it is. Can I just say that Iwan really is one of the most loyal man in a fiction book? He really tried his hardest to move on even though the current timeline's Clementine didn't know him, he didn't try to make her fall in love with him and just let fate connect their timeline again. It's really just one of the unique books I've read in a while - even with magic realism in it!

But what really shook me most was Clementine and her relationship with her aunt. Sometimes, you really wouldn't know that someone is having a hard time because they're really good at covering it up. It somehow open my eye about depression and grief.
