This book was such a comforting book to listen to. It definitely has some deeper/darker topics (including grief, loss, etc), but it still felt like a warm, reassuring hug. Especially considering I listened to the audio book.

I know there are still some complaints about how if you time travel but couldn't change the current time that you are living in, what's the point? But you could see that it was a moment something of a release. Almost like the characters could get off their chest what they needed. And as a reader, it was kind of a release for me too. I might not be able to say what I want to someone in my past or future, but I can feel the release those characters felt.
