aka the girl who lived for 300+ years with speed healing and a demon at her back but only visited 2 continents, and the only famous people she met were white. things that make you go "hmmmm"

i still liked this story, for the reasons most people like it- the writing is beautiful, lovely work with the magical realism, and the turn of events is satisfying. addie and henry were cute, even though i don't usually like adult romance. there's fun moral reflective moral questions but they get repetitive, and the book has obvious diversity and character building problems that can't be overlooked.
