3.0
I bought this book without even knowing the premise but when one of my friends told me that it was about going back in time and getting back before the coffee gets cold I was intrigued and picked it up from my shelf immediately. In the four stories my favorite was the 'mother and child' because of how emotional and hopeful it got me, but I just think the characters could have been more fleshed out? I did like the ending where they talked about the change in the actions of the people who have gone back in time. I wanted to know more about kazu I hardly know her. Got me feeling a bit unsatisfied in certain areas but overall an okay read. It maybe because it was translated from Japanese but I didn't connect with the writing so that's something.
