Every time I read another installment of this series, I am left an absolute wreck. I love the way Toshikazu Kawaguchi's writing is so direct and straightforward, yet also manages to punch you in the gut with such visceral emotions.
I loved this book, I loved the messages (especially as someone who is perpetually unimpressed and angry) and I am so glad I listened to the audiobook on Everand <3

The book has some predictable and unpredictable moments. It is a bit cliche but does have the simple life message of “life is short - live fully”. This one particularly revolves around death a lot more than the first one did, so be warned of that. The author tells four separate stories of people traveling through time to tell their loved ones a message - however, all the stories are interconnected, which I enjoyed.
As simplistic and unrealistic as this series is, I am enjoying it and I will be reading the other books within it. I do recommend it for an easy read!
