Spoiler
I’m so glad that I stuck it out. The ending wasn’t what I expected at all (although some might see through it more easily) and it wasn’t happy but it was very satisfying. Henry’s last pages had me near tears.I think the concept of the plot is really creative, and the author keeps track of a thousand little details of Addie’s curse that could’ve created a thousand plot holes.
At times it was predictable, but not in a way that spoiled my enjoyment.

I knew almost right away that Henry had also made a deal, but there were plenty of details I didn’t foresee, too.This book made me want to savor every moment of life and love. It was entertaining but also thought provoking and heart-fire stoking.
