- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
Beautifully written, heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. The first character we’re introduced to was Melody, born the same year I was. I hadn’t realized how much that would make me invested in the story…the stories through time.
