3.75

This book has a really great plot and strong characters. However, I found it went on a little too long at some points. I would definitely recommend it to others, but be prepared to hear some repetition and predict what's happening next.

I found the first half of the book incredibly boring, slow and sometimes repetitive. I had to force myself to keep reading bc the overall concept of the book was intriguing and I had to know how it ended. The second half of the book i actually enjoyed. I cried and felt things along with the characters. For the first half of the book, 2.75; for the second half of the book, 4. I know this is Addie’s story but would’ve liked more background on Luc. Although, that could probably be it’s own book.
