For a teeny tiny hook, I sure did read it in a lot of places across Japan. From cafes, to trains to air bnbs. I'll treasure this copy a little more knowing I read it in the places it was set in. 

What I enjoyed.. 
 Structure, that each character had their own part
Incredibly memorable read that encouraged me to reflect. When would I go back to the past if I could?
Powerful message about the present
 Exploration of memory and change
Sad, but beautiful ending 

What i didn't enjoy...
A little risky at first to keep up with the characters and who is who at first. Especially as I read this book over the span of a few weeks 
I did connect some of the dots early on so meant that I saw the final chapter coming. 

 "People don't see things and hear things as objectively as they think. The visual and auditory information that enters the mind is distorted by experiences, thoughts, circumstances, wild fancies, prejudices, preferences, knowledge,awareness, and countless other workings of the mind" p189.
