A life no one will remember. A story you will never forget.

France, 1714, Addie LaRue makes a deal with the devil to live forever, but is cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets. When a door closes, people forget ever meeting her. Addie does not even tell people her name since they will never remember it. The story is told over centuries and set in different countries as we learn what Addie will do to leave her mark on the world. In 2014, when she meets Henry, and he actually remembers her and her name, her real story begins.

I was really excited about this book, but honestly it took me a really long time to read it. I started it in November and finished it in more than a month. It was beautifully written almost poetic, but I struggled at times to get through it. I found some parts a bit slow and repetitive, but overall I did enjoy the story. To me the best part was when Henry was introduced. I really loved his story and felt the book picked up more at this point. I found Luc to be an interesting character as well, but felt that him and Addie played the same game in every scene they were in together.

My rating might have been a bit lower, but the ending really made all the difference. I loved it so much, but of course will not give it away. I know everyone raves about this book so I hope my review does not dissuade anyone from reading it.
