Ugh it was so good I couldnt stop reading. I rated it a 4 because I wanted to read more. I want to know what happens after it ended. Did Addie best Luc? How? When? Did she ever get the chance to see Henry again? So many questions, and im so hungry for answers.

This book is a personal favorite of mine! Many lenses to view the contents from, re readable!

If you like watching paint dry, this book is for you.

So here’s the premise: girl in 1700s France doesn’t want to get married. Totally fair. So she runs off into the woods and makes a deal with a sexy shadow demon who’s probably wearing a well-fitted coat and smirking the whole time. He grants her immortality, but curses her so that no one ever remembers her. Not her family, not the guy she just talked to, not even the bartender pouring her a drink. Every conversation is like hitting reset on a dating app, forever. Cut to 300 years of Addie ghosting her way through history like a hot, sad Easter egg in the background of every famous painting. Until—plot twist—a guy in a bookstore actually remembers her. Which is wild. And also suspicious. But mostly wild. Now, this book isn’t fast. It meanders. It vibes. It’s like someone handed you a glass of wine and said, “Let’s sit in our feelings for a while.” And honestly? I was into it. The writing is really good—like, highlight-half-the-book good. It’s soft, romantic, a little tragic, but never full melodrama. So no, this book didn’t wreck me. But it did impress me. It’s smart, it’s thoughtful, and it sticks with you, even if you’re not out here scribbling Addie’s name into the fog on your bathroom mirror. Definitely worth reading. Just don’t expect explosions. Expect pretty words and existential dread dressed in a very stylish coat.

The first time the two Compelling story, great descriptive prose. I can’t help but see the similarity to the film “The Age of Adaline”, which came out in 2015-before this book was published. The film is less supernatural, but the heroine Adeline has lived 100 years.

Love the dark gothic story about things that go bump in the night paired with be careful for what you wish for.

Probably one of the best books I’ve read.

If I could rate this book lower, I would.

This is a beautifully constructed story with imagery that will stay with me for a long time. I partly want there to be another one and also understand there may never be. Addie LaRue will be in my thoughts for a very long time.

Maybe my favorite book of all time now. It has everything…
