His need to be enough, as he phrases it, something any reader, any person can relate to. He falls rapidly in love with Addie and he accepts her the way she is. He is this emotionally man who wants more time with his family and friends. From the first “I remember you” to the last one, you fall in love with him as Addie does. Her love for books and culture was heart-warming, she had a heart of gold that would never stop beating and yearning for love. Her need to be known, to be remembered after three hundred years of new beginnings and being forgotten, was understandable. The stories of Addie’s life in the past were mesmerizing and gut-wrenching at times. I loved the constant back and forth between the past and the present. Her witty banter with Luc was captivating. Her determination to make the darkness regret ever cursing her was immeasurable. She is charismatic and amusing, her love for humanity was blinding. Just reading about them made you feel a little less lonely and somewhat less insignificant in the grand scheme of the universe.Īddie LaRue is a strong character that is anything but forgettable. I found the characters to be extremely realistic and more than relatable. I loved the way the author motivated their actions by their greatest fears and their biggest insecurities. Her characters were incredibly well-written, especially Addie LaRue and Henry. The descriptions of the cities Addie visited were spectacular, it was almost as if I could step into that world and forget about my own dilemmas. I felt that it tied the story in a perfect knot. While I know some people did not appreciate her use of repetitions, I actually liked it. Her writing in this novel was so poetic and beautiful. It made me feel so many emotions so deeply, I never wanted to put it down because it was perfect. As you may know, I’ve read quite a lot of books, so this is not in any way an easy task.

This is probably my favourite book of all time. After finishing this book, I felt as if someone had physically taken my heart out of my chest and stomped on it, shattering it in thousands of tiny pieces that don’t fit together anymore. SchwabĮveryone has had that book that has wrecked them so irreparably that for a while they don’t know what to do with themselves.
