+ interesting & fun concept
+ really liked the relationship between addie and luc
+ addie was, at times, an entertaining protagonist
+ luc was a fascinating character
+ lgb characters
- lots of missed opportunities, considering the time periods and places the book covers
- eurocentric & extremely white
- boring setting (come on, nyc?)
- weird to throw in some real-life historical persons for no reason
- repetition
