5.0

This book was a long-awaited 5 star read to round out the year. The first 2 parts of the book were good and kept my attention, but the last part (part 3, closure, and epilogue) is  where everything came together in a really beautiful way.
the way that Tsujimura plays with time in this story is expert and emotional and made for a completely original story. the timelines fit together like puzzle pieces, or a hug between the oldest of friends. single tear for the end of closure and on.
