4.5 because of the ending.
I would have loved it if the ending was actually concluded, instead of that open ending.

A fantastic book. I loved the writing style. I love how Addie left pieces of her everywhere she went - in drawings, paintings, art pieces. I love how there's a trail of her all around the world, in all different decades. 
I also loved her and Henry together. They were beautiful. And the book he wrote about her? Swoon.

While I don't mind Adam, this book wasn't as interesting as the other ones.

I loved loved Dom and Kiddo's relationship in this book. This was more of a "filler" book I feel like, but I think that's why I enjoyed it so much. 
But the ending.... 😭😭😭 not Dom, not him 😭😭

While this book was super cute, something about the writing to me felt off (sadly), and so I didn't enjoy it as much as I would have.

Oh Kenji 😭 
I love how it shows that even the best and happiest characters sometimes can't be happy, and it always breaks my heart even though it's my favourite trope
