The Tuck family is burdened, or some might say blessed, with the gift of eternal life after having consumed water from a magical spring. With their newfound immortality, they navigate through life, trying to keep their extraordinary secret hidden from the world while living as inconspicuously and comfortably as possible.
However, everything changes when a curious ten-year-old girl named Winnie Foster stumbles upon their well-guarded secret. The Tucks, out of concern and compassion, take Winnie into their home and reveal the truth about their timeless existence. They share the complexities and challenges that come with living forever at a single age, highlighting that immortality is not the unmitigated blessing it might appear to be.
As the story unfolds, complications arise when a mysterious stranger becomes aware of the magical spring and hatches a plan to market its water, potentially amassing a vast fortune.
This is an enchanting love story that delves into the timeless theme of immortality. It captivates readers with its unique concept and thought-provoking choices that the characters face. The central dilemma of whether to embrace eternal life or accept the natural course of existence is portrayed with great depth.
As I delved into this story, I found myself emotionally charged and introspective. The characters' struggles and the moral questions they confront kept me engaged until the very end. The narrative beautifully weaves together the complexities of life, death, and the consequences of eternal existence.
This book is not only a heartwarming tale but also an exploration of profound philosophical questions. It's a story that lingers in your mind, leaving you with a deeper appreciation for the fleeting beauty of life and the enduring power of love.

Just not getting into it. I can't get the image of 16yo Alexis Bledel out of my head when in the book Winnie is 10yo. Also Jesse is over 100yo technically and its.... just weird.
