"If it cannot be love, well, then, at least it is not lonely."

Angry women, gods you shouldn't pray to and an intriguing answer to the question: what would you do with forever?
The answer is nobody wants to be immortal.

Ms. Addie Larue gets herself in quite the pickle as a young woman and has to live out the consequences. This book took me on such an emotional roller coaster I think I went through all the stages of grief! The storyline was something I have never read before it was so intriguing and really kept me hooked the whole time, but I was able to predict the ending early on.
