This book can be simply described as a beautiful homage to a loving adult father-daughter relationship and time.

The characters were each loveable in their own way and the relationships they have with one another. Though there is a small nodd to romance - it is the familial and friendship love which carries the most weight. I hold a particular fondness for Alice who is shown to have a strong sense of self without coming across as cold and doesn’t comprise on her desires throughout the plot. 

The writing style was very clever - particularly with a plot on time travel it didn’t feel repetitive and just full of such heart warming moments.  

What I loved most about this book is how the plots centres on the idea that some things are inevitable and out of our control. That only by living in the present can we move on and appreciate the time we have with loved ones whilst we can. For me personally who has lost loved ones recently - this message truly hit home and both warmed and broke my heart all at once. 

I can definitely see myself re-reading and will be a go to recommendation to friends and family.
