DID NOT FINISH: 28%

I really REALLY tried with this one because I wanted to like it but… Addie as a main character was so bland. She had little to no true conflict because it’s near impossible to have conflict when no one remembers you. The hook of this book takes forever to happen and it was unbearably slow.

I think this book, while the lines are beautiful, suffers from poor pacing, ill thought out characters, and a lack of clear conflict. Overall it wasn’t engaging and that scene where
Addie sells her virginity felt so out of place and didn’t add anything to the story while upholding a weird value of virginity itself.


I loved the premise of the story, I just wish the ball started rolling sooner and we had some clear action going on.
