This was not a good book. I know how many people think it's amazing and can't stop talking about it but I don't see the hype at all. I'm just going to rant about all the things wrong with the book:
• It is way too slow
• Over 600 pages and 300 years, Addie had no character development
• People are saying it's sad, it's not
• The ending doesn't even give closure, like what was the point?
• The version I had was over 600 pages, and more than 250 of that was irrelevant to the story and a waste of time
The whole idea of the book was okay but it was written all wrong :(
I really did want to like this book because of all the good reviews it had but it definitely didn't work for me.
1⭐

Edit 3 months later: that said though, I would still consider recommending this book because I can see why people like it but I think you either love it or you hate it and unfortunately I'm on the hate side:( I do want to increase the rating tho,

Edit 10 months later: I'm so conflicted because not many books are still on my mind after all this time but i cant stop thinking about it. Normally the books that make me feel like this so long after I've read it would be 5 stars, but it's impossible to do that based on my original review. So I'll increase the rating again, but I definitely need to reread this year to set this straight

Edit 17 months later, after 1st reread: this is one of my fave books of all time. I've had my enemies to lovers moment with this book.
"addie looks at him as if she can read his mind, see the storm building in his head. but she is sunshine. she is clear skies"
she is sunshine, he is midnight rain
