Easy 5 star. Addie LaRue is the book I've wanted to read in New adulthood. I'm 25, and there is something so enchanting about this story. All the way down to the 4th wall breaking at the end. If I could remeet Addie every day I definitely would. Great read.

The book was slow and not very exciting. I loved the conversations with luc but Addie didn’t seem to have much chemistry with Henry. Her story got repetitive which may have been the point but it was a lot for 400 pages. Overall don’t hate it or love it. *Overhyped*

I wanted to like this story, especially because the writing is so beautiful.  The words, and scenes are a cross between poetry and art.

It is the ultimate manic pixie dream girl vs depressive demon nightmare boy, I felt it was trying too hard and was somehow ¿oversaturated?
