Although she’s lived for over 300 years, I feel like I got a complete look at Addie’s life. And what a beautiful story it makes!

Henry deserves the world.

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?
