“But isn’t it wonderful,” she says “to be an idea?”

So this book wins the award for first book this year to make me cry. It has curled up in my brain (where I am sure it will stay) like the echoes of an idea, the secondhand mark, that Addie LaRue leaves behind.  

I don’t think I’ll be forgetting this story or the multitude of feelings it evoked in me for a long time.

This book was a great read. Easy to fall into the world and Addie’s life. I am wrecked though. Emotional damage.

The concept and writing is beautiful. The set up and the last 25% of the book I really enjoyed, but it made me realise just how slow everything in between was. A bunch of the chapters could have easily been left on the cutting room floor. Still a nice read but slow to get through.
