Review of 'Invisible Life of Addie LaRue' on 'Goodreads'

I liked this book at first but pretty soon I grew pretty ambivalent about it and I really disliked the ending. She's staying with him as long as he wants and then she'll leave? That hardly seems like a punishment. Not to mention it just seems so petty in the context of her entire existence. What's-his-name didn't even seem like a good match for her; it really just seemed like she loved that he could remember her, not that she loved him, per se, so I don't even really buy that she was so hurt by that bargain. I'd seen a lot of hype so maybe that's why I was disappointed by this book. If I had no expectations maybe I would've enjoyed it more.
