I want to thank NetGalley and Abrahm's Kids for providing me with an eARC to read and give my honest opinion. The opinions expressed her are my own. Magic realism which weaves in Japanese folklore as Sora tells her story of living in a Japanese town where time is not as it seems after a big earthquake. The premise of this book sounded so interesting. I love magical realism and this one really started off interesting. Unfortunately, it didn't stay that way for me and I ended up DNFing this one at about 60% in. I really wanted to love it but it became really slow and I grew uninterested. I really was looking forward to getting to know Sora. But I just didn't connect with her. She feels so sorry for herself the whole time. It dragged me down. I thought maybe her relationship with Koki would go somewhere, but it didn't. And I'm not really sure what the plot was. Her wandering through her life and noticing all the time differences? Maybe you learn more later on in the book but by halfway through I would have liked to know. It just felt repetitive to me. I didn't know what I was supposed to be looking for. It felt stilted and stale. I'm sure others will love this one but ultimately it was too slow for me to continue on and finish.
