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.

4.5

really liked the book but thought that some “flashbacks” were kinda boring.the second half of the book was way catchier…
 i wasn’t the biggest fan of the main couple/the plot of the male love interest but thought that especially the last third that focused on the relationship between luc and addie through the years was very interesting because he’s such a diverse character.
didn’t expect the “real” ending and i don’t know what i think about it
