I was entertained, but not moved. The concept is interesting, but the book has its flaws. The writing tried too hard to be pretty, and the story could’ve easily been shortened. Aside from her desperation, Addie didn’t have as much personality as I would’ve hoped for in a main character. I could say something similar for Henry. For me, Luc was the only character that was truly dynamic. 

I was entertained, but unfortunately, ironically, I imagine the book will be easy to forget.
