Oh My GOSH!!! This one will be tough to beat as my #1 pick of the year so far, and we still have so much of the year to go! Addie gives you so many feelings, wonderful yet bad! I thought I was going to be ugly crying at the end of this one, but no I did not, but my heart was still broken at the end (but in such a good way!)
On the eve of her wedding that she does not want, Addie LaRue prays to a god of some kind for the wedding to not happen. A deal is made and now Addie will now live until she no longer wants to and will become his. Living basically forever, Addie is suddenly forgotten once a person turns away from her. Imagine a life of never having a home and constantly moving and no one remembering you except for a slight memory of seven freckles on her cheeks….. Until one day she is in a bookstore and hears three words she never thought she would hear again: “I remember you”. How does this man named Henry remember her when no one has for over 300 years? This begins a new adventure in Addie’s extended life.
Again, prepare yourself for ALL the feelings you could possibly feel in this novel! The author’s writing is just beautiful with so many worthwhile quotes in it. It can be a slow moving novel that moves in two directions: Addie’s long 300+ year life going from the past to present day, and also Henry’s perspective. The devil/demon himself who goes by the name of Luc, pops up off and on throughout Addie’s extended life, bringing the pain that Addie feels to the surface.
There are some surprises that pop up throughout, and I thought I knew how the novel was going to end, but no, it went in another heartbreaking direction. I can say this: I will remember Addie and her story.
This novel is very highly recommended.
