This is certainly an…interesting read. The characters are definitely intriguing, but the relationships between them don’t really feel… sincere? I guess it feels like Addie’s connections with people are supposed to be the most important part, but none of them really feel compelling to me.

Even with Henry or Luc. Her feelings for Henry— and his feelings in return, I think— seem to only come from a place of deep loneliness. That’s very impactful, for sure, but it doesn’t make me feel much other than sadness. Maybe that’s the point? I’m not sure. Then Luc only knows obsession; that’s obvious. Addie’s feelings of attachment to him only shows her loss of humanity, in my opinion. Especially when it’s obvious that she still has a deep hatred and resentment for him.Quality of Writing: 8/10

It is the ultimate manic pixie dream girl vs depressive demon nightmare boy, I felt it was trying too hard and was somehow ¿oversaturated?

can I just say that all of the characters deserved so much better, I mean I know he’s supposed to be the "villain" but poor Luc just wanted someone to spend some time with and the fact that Addie had to leave Henry actually tore me in half. And Henry being revealed as the “writer" of the book is actually icing on the cake and is one of my all time favorite tropes.Graphic: Death, Drug use, Mental illness, and Suicidal thoughts
