Everything you lose will come back to you in another way. If you could really turn back time, what would you most want to get back? I burst into tears after reading this
If life is not here, it must be somewhere else
The girl who turned back time was really well written. I really finished reading this book without stopping for a moment. It starts with a dog describing something he saw: the heroine died in a car accident. Later, little Lizzie took a ship to another world, and began to resist the new world, recalling and looking forward to the previous life, and then gradually adapted to start a new life after death. From hating the perpetrator, to seeing the perpetrator's human life through the lookout glass, she decided to give up revenge. The growth of the heroine can be seen in everything. Later, she liked the life here more and more, and getting along with Owen made her feel like she was in love. But life is never easy. At the sweet moment, Owen's wife also came to another world. At this time, she began to want to leave again, and was so close to the human world for the first time, because she suddenly felt relieved in the middle and did not want to give up everything here, even though she was so decisive when she made the decision. Fortunately she is back. After that everything slowly became harmonious again. Later, I attended my grandmother's wedding, watched the wedding of my human friend, and forgave the perpetrator's belated apology. Becoming more and more mature. Finally, he really returns to the world. Just as the author said, dreams are reality and reality is dreams.
very good
Don't waste your time just after success.
Feeling
This book is amazing. A girl dies and starts a new life in another world. I have always been curious about what happens after death. I want to leave for a day. If I die I would also like to tell the living people what I saw. But it must be difficult This book is not a horror story, but it can satisfy some curiosity. Although it may be fictional, it is still magical ~
This is the first book that makes me feel less terrible about death. I used to think that death is a particularly terrible thing. Death means losing all relatives, friends, etc. But the author's idea of this book is very novel. Even if a person dies and goes to another world, he can continue to live and wait for reincarnation. Thinking about it this way, death is not so terrible anymore.
The end is also the beginning. If the end of every life can have such a beginning, it would be a kind of perfection. At least it can reduce the fear in the heart.
The last sentence of the introduction to this book is very realistic. Only family and friends care about a person's final outcome. For others, this is just a solution.
If I could go back in time, I would stay with my parents obediently, without being willful, nonsense, or extreme. If I could turn back time, I would find the last person in my emotional world and love each other well from that moment on, only this one person.
rebirth
I feel like life is like a rebirth, experiencing reincarnation from childhood to adulthood, and from adulthood to childhood. I hope everyone can be treated with gentleness. I like this book very much😹
After reading this book, my biggest feeling is not to dwell on the past. Instead of living in the past, it is better to live in the present. Time will not go back, and what has passed will not come back. We must live every day well.
