The most beautifully written book. Complex, flawed characters, complex emotions, deep, reflective storyline. Absolutely beautiful. I wish I could reread this for the first time.

“What is a person, if not the marks they leave behind?” 

The beginning to the middle was so slow it took me weeks to get through it - not that I was bored but for some reason, I always get sleepy. It was pretty much text heavy so in return, my eyes was also heavy. Not that it stopped me from continuing the story. It was indeed very interesting but there were alot of small details that could have been left out (that’s what I thought at first). 

After the middle mark, I was hooked. I’ve brought the book everywhere I go in case I have time for a read because I wanted to know how it goes. Would Addie and Henry have a happy ending or what? You just have to keep reading it. She told stories of the past and how she got thru them all - including the war too. What really shocked me was the love story between Addie and Luc because that was a fast ball I did not see coming. But after getting past that, I realized that it was going there and I was just blinded by Henry. 

The ending though. Addie, you stubborn girl. I’d love to be like you one day. 

(I love love love how this really feel like it was written by Addie herself.)

The book was a fun and easy read with a good story. It was a very well written story development. Although, I felt certain parts of the story were very repetitive. But I guess the idea behind that is to really sink in the things Addie could and couldn’t do. Apart from that, it’s an easy read with a nice plot.
