This book. Oh this book. It broke me. Completely. Utterly. Shattered me.

If there’s only one book you read in your life, make sure it’s this one.

Adeline, a young girl in 17th Century France, did not want to get married. Wanting freedom of choice and life, she makes a deal with the devil! She sees him in the same face she’s dreamt all her life, her true love. Luc, she names him, torments her in hopes that she will give in to him, give up her freedom, and offer her soul.

Addie travels across Europe and US for 300 years, visiting museums and wonders. Nobody remembers meeting her, no mark she leaves every lingers. So she finds ways to make her mark, make history in this forgiving and forgetting world. And one day, she meets someone. A meeting of chance.

The woman who everyone forgets, meets a man, one who remembers her. Their story is one of happiness, sorrow, love and life. Holding onto the one thing each needed from the other. Finding their home within the other.

This book was everything I loved. Morally grey characters, a soft boy who learns to love himself, fierce woman who knows her worth! A love story meant for the ages. A villain with mutliple layers and facets! A book with a lot of twists and turns, ann ad open ending
