The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was because of the ending. It's lovely in a poetic sort of way, and gives the reader free reign to image what this new timeline/future might look like. However, I really wish there had been a little more meat on that bone. The chapters are quite short, so a little glimpse into this 'awakened and wiser' Wilbur's future would have really sealed the deal - just a peek! 🔭

Everyone should have this opportunity to amend their mistakes and most importantly, learn from them.
