3.0

The book is very easy to read and follow. Four stories about interconnected characters, each one of them traveled because of regrets they have despite the fact that it won't change anything but it changed their hearts. 
The first story didn't really impress me that much to be honest and the character felt a bit picture perfect falling in love with someone who's a "loser"
and she wants to wait for him, even though she was described as thing career driven and highly intelligent woman, not saying that smart women can't fall in love but the way the character was portayed felt shallow

While I understood the moral of each story, I felt as if things weren't in their right place or weren't executed as they should've 
Still enjoyable book that could be read in one sitting and if you're just getting into the habit of reading
