First read of 2024! Giving it an 8/10. Similarly to the first book in this series, it’s a simple, cute read about being able to travel through time.
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!
