I'm grieving someone right now; and it's hard. There is so much I would give to go back and to be able to at least say a proper goodbye, to let them know once more how much they meant to me, even if I never get to see them again. I think a lot of people forget how important closure is because they're so focused on what they lost. Like yes, I would much rather have them back in my life, but that's not how the world works, so at the very least I want to be able to make peace with my goodbye.
The book is really just a reminder to tell your loved ones how you feel, even if it's difficult or awkward and to say what you really mean, before it's too late.
I think the way so many of the people who time travel get choked up is pretty annoying and frustrating, but it's accurate. When the moment finally arrives, when you can finally let the words you've been dying to say out, your emotions clog your throat.

I like the plot points throughout and felt the world building intriguing. The magical realism elements had a way of grounding the reader while still giving you a bit of whimsy and imagination. I would’ve liked more characterization, but maybe the sequels develop the characters more?

THE BEST BOOK I HAVE READ IN MY LIFETIME. IF I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE THIS BOOK MORE THAN FIVE STARS I WOULD.
It's impossible for me to put all the emotions this book made me feel into words. This book wasn't just a read, it was an experience, an incredible one at that. An experience that had left such an imprint on me I think I've changed as a person.
In one word, MASTERPIECE.
If you can, pick up this book now! and go into it blindly with a cup of coffee by your side to accompany your ride.
But remember!
Drink the coffee before it gets cold :)
