That being said, I did enjoy it, and it got me out of a reading slump after trying out another book that I ended up not finishing. There were some things that slightly bothered me though. Mostly the pace felt very slow, as nice as the vignettes were I kept waiting for something to happen and for the story to pick up after all that exposition. It eventually did... In the last 20% of the book (which I read much faster than the rest as a result!). I also kept thinking that Addie had a lot more chemistry with Luc than with Henry, but I personally tend to enjoy more twisted romances than those made of pure fluff and comfort.
I really loved the prose though; yes, the metaphors can be a bit pretentious, like other reviews have pointed out, but for me it's a feature, not a bug.
So while I probably will not re-read it, and it has taught me to seek more plot-driven books, that was still a very good time!
