Powerful, Resilient, and Enduringly Heartfelt
This book was beautifully written and executed. It took me some time to fully understand the authors writing style but as the story went on it felt so real and beautiful. This book has so many little gems and nuggets of wisdom that will forever impact the person reading this book. I saw myself continuously rooting Addie the whole way through. I loved how her relationship with Henry blossomed. Even her relationship with Luc; although Luc creeped me out but every relationship that Addie had in the book meant something. I just love how the author finely woven the small details that we initially think doesn’t make sense but when everything started to come together it made it even more impactful. My hat goes off to V.E. Schwab, Job well done!!!!
