Book Review: Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin

Book Review: Bullet Train by Kōtarō Isaka
If you have knowledge of Japanese culture and literature, this is probably an enjoyable book. Unfortunately, I am not all too familiar with these things and found myself lost throughout most of the story…
