This is a bit of a long term placeholder in my TBR, and I know I’m late to the party on this book and it being my first VE Schwab read, but boy was it an immense treat!
The depth and volume of build in the flashback scenes building up to the current timeline, the warmth in Addie’s romance with Henry (as well as his revealed backstory and “curse”) was beautiful.
Going to be so honest I literally only could not make it a 5/5 because I physically cringed at that part where Addie is encouraging Henry and says that “Life feels long sometimes” or something along those lines, but otherwise this novel was absolutely breathtaking.
