When I decided to read this book, I had no idea what it was about.
The story unfolds quite nicely, emotionally deepening at each chapter. And let me say I was caught off guard, because this book and its impossible feature made me bawl my eyes out.
The characters are very much unique, and so are their stories. You'll feel for them, and you'll root for them, and you'll think a lot about what you would do if you were given the same opportunity they got.
I was not expecting this book to become one of my favorites, but it did. So, if you like magical realism, emotional conversations, and time travel: give this book a chance. I'm positive it'll touch you and leave you thinking.
