Finally a book that I understand the hype around. I don't know why I like sad books, but I am happy I do. A beautiful and unforgettable story about a girl cursed to be forgotten. I really thought I knew how it was going to end, and I am so happy I was wrong. 

ALSO. This is often compared to The Time Traveler's Wife. Please do not put this anywhere near that truly awful book. They are nothing alike, thank goodness. V.E. Schwab has been on my radar for a while now, and this was the perfect introduction for many more books of hers I am sure to read.
