I really enjoyed this book! It is such a unique and interesting concept. My only criticisms were that I would have liked to see Addie react to historical events happening like womens suffrage, the wars etc (some of these things are mentioned but we don't really get to see her thoughts about them). I would have also liked there to be more of a focus on the friendship and family that Addie is missing out on - it is very heavily focused on romance and she just seems to spent all her time having one night stands but doesn't make any effort to connect with people platonically. But other than that I loved it and it was very gripping!
