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.
