I absolutely devoured this book & I have not been able to stop thinking about it since. There are so many powerful themes at play in this book about time, self, memory, love, morality, mortality, feminism, loss... I could go on. The more I reflect on the book, the more I fall in love with it. Highly recommend.
One note would be that I feel to some extent that this book was not advertised to me as what it ended up being, so I would advise for anyone reading that it is 1) very character driven, there is not a lot of action & 2) while there is romance in the book, it is not a romance - it is very much Addie's story.
