This book has amazing reviews and obviously so many people loved it - but for me it felt too long and could’ve been much shorter. Addie and Henry went on SO MANY dates?? I had to skim through some of them because it was just too cheesy and long winded for my taste. But then I really loved when we went back in time and read about Addie’s past life, the things she’s been through and the people she’s met. For someone who has lived 300 years, Adeline’s personality fell flat for me and I couldn’t connect with any of the other characters. I was about 80% in and I was just too bored to pick it up again so I read the plot summary on the internet. Glad I DNF’d it 🥲
