This may be one of the best books I've ever read. The relationship between Addie and Luke in contrast to the one between her and Henry is wonderful. It's reflective in a very timeless way, but manages to keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time. It must've taken years to write this book, and I have a lot of respect for the author for producing such a masterpiece. 

I had one main issue with the book, and that was the rather forced diversity. The author seems to have put every ethnicity, belief, and race possible in the story, and it didn't feel organic to me.
