No matter how much BookTok tries to tell you otherwise, this book was simply not good. 

400+ pages of absolutely nothing happening except Addie lamenting about the fact that she can’t be remembered by anyone and will never make a mark on the world until oh no! Suddenly she’s interesting! Except that lasted for a grand total of one chapter and then it went straight back to boring. The number of times I was ready to be hooked into the story was also the same number of times that Addie decided “oh! I’m just going to go back to my same stupid small original French town for absolutely no reason whatsoever! Sounds like a plan :)” No. Stop. This was boring, repetitive, and so incredibly frustrating. 

There were so many times I wanted to DNF this book, and the literal only reason I stuck it out was because I needed to know about what happened to Henry. That’s it. I didn’t care if he died, or lived, or had any of a million different things happen, I just needed to know what happened. And then I get to the end and somehow feel disappointed? I was expecting a lot from this book, and it gave so little. 

This was fairly forgettable (haha, pun) and I don’t think I would recommend this to most people. You’ll get the gist of it by looking at spoiler reviews and reading the sparknotes, without the painfully dredging task of actually going through the process of reading it.
