This book basically shows us that everyone–no matter from what background you came from–has the right to choose whether you will follow an advice or to do the opposite, to choose a new path or stay in your path, to let go or not to let go, and it's also your choice to regret or not to regret the decisions that you have made. Life is basically a table full of platters with various kind of dishes that are free for you to take, to taste, or to keep. We all have the chance to create a better future for ourselves, no matter how cruel the past was.

Definitely one of the most unique books I’ve read thus far. I’ve liked Keigo Higashino since “The Devotion of Suspect X,” though his other mysteries didn’t quite compare.

Yet, this book made me see again why he’s a great storyteller. I like how all the stories of the characters are tied together, the time traveling, and how everything comes full circle. That ending!

It was really clever how the author weaved all of the storylines together. You definitely have to pay attention while reading this book. I think I would've enjoyed it more if I wasn't in the middle of a reading slump.
