The Lovers I - Sir, SIR You do not tell your girlfriend, you are going to America for work right before a flight in which you must go to said America for a job. That is just heartless of you. Now we got Time traveling involved fascinating thought this book was going to have some heart-breaking moments. I did not read the blurb of this book mind you. I went in blind. Ah a Time Travel with its twist alto it does makes sense in a way. Time travel here has a rule set of you cannot change the past even if you do things? Which is unusual because usually if you time travel back and per say do something it can drastically alter a lot of things in the present and future. The story itself feels like a stage play, I can picture this chapter as a play on stage and could be acted out.
Spotted the name of the book - roll the credits.
There are so many characters in this chapter that it is quite hard to keep track of who is who in the first place.
Omg the plot twist at the end when it was revealed that the women with the book was reading a book about her in the first place!
Chapter 2: Husband and Wife:
Okey so starting chapter 2 we can tell that this story revolves around the Tea shop or coffee shop which is interesting and fascinating. I wonder if we get to know how Time Travel started to happen in the shop itself.
Also, I like the part where it showed when the coffee started to be imported in Japan and was not anyone favrioute in those years. I love books when they give those little details of history for you to know, I always find it fascinating since I really enjoy History tad bits.
I am curious if you could do the same method several times and not just one time, since from what I am getting here is there people only had done it once. I wonder what would happen if you do it more than just one time… Also, quite curious about the lady that reads and got to the bathroom, if memory serves me right, she is the ghost. I wonder how long she has been there? Like the place was a basement before, but what was it used for? and in the previous chapter a bug was mentioned it has something to do with that too?
Also, curious which item or object is the one that makes people go back in time, either the coffee or the chair in particular. Like the chair itself has a vortex or something. I still am finding this story cute and sad with the husband. I wonder what is in the letter in the first place. From what I am getting its about his illness, so he knew before hand, and it was shocking when he told his wife that he knew that she came from the future. Me curious about how and what.
Chapter 3: The Sisters
Wait what if the ghost lady is the little girl? Wait… Is the female ghost in some metaphorical way us. I just recalled she had read the same thing that was happening in the book itself. So…. the ghost is us, the readers the spectators of what is happening so…. the ghost novel is the book we are currently reading. I am mind blown.
Chapter 4: Mother and Child
Ah okey so now we are finding out that you can only use the chair or time travel once and not twice because it is either not possible or would not happen? Okey I still have questions about ghost lady, alto this and last chapter of this book had me in slight tears and I really really enjoyed this short story. I cannot wait to read the second one when the time comes!
☽ ˚•̩̩͙ WHAT DID I FEEL WHEN I FINISHED THE BOOK? ☽ ˚•̩̩͙
I started to read the book and I was deeply interested in the first paragraph. It's not a crime thriller, as the title suggested. It's more than a story about love, life and loss. It is about human being and how he/she struggles to get through life. The book is written in a very simple language and it's easy to read.
At the same time, the story contains a lot of deep and important thoughts about life. It made me think a lot of things . I found the book very interesting and appealing. It inspired me to read it thoroughly and not miss any detail of the story. This will help me analyse and evaluate what I have read. The story has changed my point of view on some things in life.
For example, I thought that marriage is for always, but after reading the novel, I started to question myself whether divorce is a better alternative for people who are not happy with their partners. After finishing the book, I felt exhausted yet satisfied. This is the sign that I have enjoyed the book and got a lot from it. The story has lifted me up emotionally and given me hope for better future. It made me think of what will happen next. Will everyone get happy in the end?
I need to read the sequel to know the answers to these questions. I'm looking forward to reading the next book because I really enjoy reading books written by famous authors and see how they present their ideas in stories, poems. I think that it's the best way to learn something new, see a different point of view in life and feel up emotionally.
Reading is my favourite activity because I can forget about all problems and just enjoy the time with good books. It has always been a major part of my life as when I was young, I read a lot of fairy tales, stories, biographies and much more. Nowadays I'm reading adult novels and I want to continue with this kind of books. As I have mentioned before, I love to read books written by famous authors. Their writing style and way of thinking are very interesting to me. I always learn a lot from reading their books, which inspire me a lot in my life. I think that novels have made me who I am today. They give me power to struggle through hard times, see the bright side of life and make me happy no matter what happens.
Love,
