I like the premise. However, the execution wasn't for me. I felt it was way too long.  It also felt repetitive, but I guess that is par for the course when a character is immediately forgotten. I did enjoy having a different look on the idea of leaving a lasting mark on the world. My main problem while reading this was that I didn't really feel connected to the main character Addie. I felt more connected to Henry. I almost felt he had it worse. Who cares if people can remember you if they don't remember the real you?
