As a person who hasn't seen her parents in so many years, I felt this story hitting hard.

The start and first half of the book is really slow, lots of characters and descriptions of the settings and interaction between them. You could feel that they all cared for each other even when the harder times hit.

I haven't read many time travel books and this one was really emotional and made me stop and think that I should reach out more to the loved one because life is too short and you can never know what tomorrow brings.

I felt so happy for Alice that she could spend more time with her father and all those savvy conversations hit differently.

Whether we want to, we have to let go of the past and keep the good memories of the loved one. That's what Alice did in the end as well, because the traveling back and forth wasn't quite the way to live her life.

Beautiful, emotional and heartwarming story.
