This was the first book chosen for my work book club, which I was so glad for as I have been wanting to read it for such a long time and now I am so so grateful for because I loved this book. The prose is beautifully written and the way it flicks between present day and another part of Addie’s life means you really feel like you get to learn about the character and what she has lived through during her immortality. And Henry, oh Henry… I simply adored his character. He is so sweet and kind and the intertwining of his and Addie’s timelines is a joy to experience. I also think I adored his character so much as I could relate to him quite a lot in his want to be loved and be enough.
The was gearing myself up for thedeath of Henry so the twist really hit me emotionally.
Such an easy 5 star rating.
