this was a relaxing book about what life could be like if time was different. i read this book last in high school and found it very interesting. i enjoyed revising it, but it very much does not have a plot. each chapter is meant to be a different idea of what life could be like if the concept of time was different than the way we know it as. 

i more specifically enjoyed one of the last chapters that i felt was inspiring because it had an emphasis on how the past is not rigid. it helps to feel hopeful about the future because the world in that chapter does not get weighed down by actions of the past. 

the only reason i gave it 3/5 is purely subjective enjoyment, since i did find it to be a little boring sometimes; however, this is mainly from my current streak of adventurous books since this book is still enjoyable.
