This was a very introspective read. Just like Ruth, I was super invested in Nao’s story, kept me motivated to keep reading/listening. So good!

This one was certainly a ride.  Picked this one up on a whim at a small local bookstore and it was a great find.  The idea of connecting with someone through an old lost diary is really interesting and the way it was pulled off here was great. Nao felt like a real person and I felt like I was reading her real diaries

Overall I would recommend this to anyone willing to do a thorough search of the content warnings because it is a heavier read with a lot of depressing moments

Good characters, good writing, fun "quantum" magical realism. Rated lower because it isn't really my personal taste and
