I feel like my rating of the book is awkward because of the four short stories it contained. While I loved them all and the connection they all shared, some stories were better than others (story two and story four). However, I loved how we explore the nature of bonds through this. A desire to travel time, despite not being able to do anything long-lasting, just to meet with someone once again. You can see how much change can occur, even if the only thing that changes is your perspective.

IM IN LOVE WITHTHIS BOOK. CHAPTER 3 WAS MY FAVOURITE BUT I REALLY LOVED THE LAST ONE TOO. Fusagi might be my fav character tbh no reason other than I seem to have an attachment of some sort to him. I’ve never read something so fast and bought the physical copy of both the first and second book in the series, or duo I guess. Can’t wait to read the second one tbh
