The best words I have for this book are Tragically Beautiful. This is one of the best books I’ve read in....... I don’t even know how long. I’ve never read a book that felt like a painting, or a sculpture, or a musical composition, until now. This book took me exactly a month to read, because I was savoring it like every sip or bite of the best food or wine I’d ever tasted.

This book is a masterpiece of happy and sad, joy and melancholy, and just LIFE. Addie LaRue lives through so much that she becomes living proof that no matter how bad things get, there’s always a tomorrow, and a next week, and a future of more beauty and joy to behold on the other side. Everyone wants to be remembered, but what would it be like if no one ever remembered you, you were unable to leave your own mark on the world, besides through other people. Even then, you are the only one who knows you made it happen. What would it be like to live forever with this kind of life? This is Addie.
