Personally the book was hard to get into which is why I rated a 4.5 it was just a bit too slow for me in the beginning. But I stayed with it and refused to not finish it, to help me I followed it along with the audiobook and let me just say the audiobook was beautiful! The book itself was also amazingly written and I could really imagine the story with the combination of the physical copy and the audiobook.
I felt for Addie and the life she lived with nobody remembering her, as people we crave and want social interaction which was something she didn’t really have. Only one she could interact with was Luc but he didn’t make it easy, as someone that typically likes the bad guys it was hard to like him.
Eventually I did like him but it was towards the end and that still didn’t change that I was rooting more for Henry lol cause Henry was just better at expressing his feelings for Addie.
The ending was more of a cliffhanger which made me cry but overall the book was full of adventure and it had a lot of valuable lessons in it.
