Quite quirky and different. This book series was recommended to me by a book club member who thought I might like it. I took a chance and purchased the first 3 books. I enjoyed the first one and will see where the story goes from here. Interesting idea and characters. It was a quick holiday read for me over July 4th weekend. I definitely would recommend it for a personal beach read. I am trying to decide if it would be for book club. It may be for certain ones if they are more open minded to discuss the idea of time travel even though this was more about personal growth some people shut down if they can’t suspend their basic beliefs, I have found. I would recommend it for certain book clubs, if you know your audience.

A very interesting premise, and some sweet stories. A bit emotional towards the end. Very Japanese in it's telling so if you're more western go in with an open mind

I found the language in this book a bit too formal and was distracted by it at times.
I will chalk it up to translation issues.
Overall, I enjoyed this but not as much as I hoped to.
