I think this was a great concept and overall it was an entertaining read. It did drag in some places but Adeline's passion for art and the cruel realities she experiences gave lots of emotional depth that pulled at my heartstrings. It glossed over some details I felt should've been explored more over what was brought to the forefront but I read it in one day and would revisit it, perhaps for an anniversary ;)

On some level, this just isn't my book.

I'm not really interested in the entire "deal with a devil" side of the story and desperation and the deals people would be willing to make is a major major theme of this book. But it's also a book about what people do with time when it's short and when it's long and that I found compelling, but underdeveloped. Also underdeveloped but inherently more interesting to me than anything devilish--how a woman survives over time. In the end, I think I want this to have been two parallel stories--Addie's and Henry's side by side as foils by chance--with more on how the two people lived their circumstances rather than how they lived in spite of or because of the devil. Can't say I recommend it. Can't say the hours reading it were a waste.
