This was an interesting look at how people change through time and through grief. 
I really liked the magical realism of the apartment slipping through time even if I was confused on the rules of the time travel at first. 
The moments of grief weren’t dwelled upon for very long but were important a part of the story.
The subject of suicide can be tricky. It was addressed and discussed and I think you see the repercussions of it throughout even if it isn’t the main plot.

I wanted more of the FMC and MMC together, it felt kinda insta-love but I liked their dynamic from what we got. 
The growth and change in multiple characters was well written. I really liked all the characters and how they all fit together. 
It had predictable moments but that didn’t deter me from liking this book and crying a few times.
