• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

An okay premise however I believe that as this is a series, that each short story could have done with more development which could have been its own book. The stories are short and sweet, but have very little development or memorability. Could have been done better in a different media format, such as series/episodes.

A distinct set of rules about the time-travel could have also been made, rather than the seemingly ever-changing rules that change on whim.

Very sweet and easy read if looking for something reflective and emotionally driven.
