I've been waiting to read this book for so long, but I'm already hesitant. I'm not a fan of the writing style or unnatural dialogue. And I feel like things just happen? Like it's all coincidental, as if there was no planning. The main character just randomly remembers A TIME TRAVEL CAFE? Who would forget that? And while wondering why there's a rule, she just happens to remember an article that answers that question.

I think my problem with this book is that it's a good story that I'm interested in, but ugh the writing. I don't know if maybe it's because it's translated? But there's a lot of repetition. Like, the character wrote something in a letter, "I feel x," and then another character says, "That person must feel x." Like ... wow, thanks. I didn't get that from the fact that they literally said that's exactly how they feel.
