France, 1714: in a moment of desperation, a young woman makes a Faustian bargain to live forever and is cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets.

Thus begins the extraordinary life of Addie LaRue, and a dazzling adventure that will play out across centuries and continents, across history and art, as a young woman learns how far she will go to leave her mark on the world.

But everything changes when, after nearly 300 years, Addie stumbles across a young man in a hidden bookstore and he remembers her name.

2.5 stars. I wanted to give two stars, because I felt the book to lack substance. But I enjoyed it more than I initially expected, so I rounded up instead of down. I quite liked the idea at the heart of this book, but everything ended up being so forgettable. Normally I wouldn't've picked a book like this up, because it felt like it'd be romance and I don't read romance. I ended up reading it because it was in some challenge and the ratings were good. I don't quite regret reading it, but almost.

A book that set me thinking

This book was nice to read. It set me thinking about immortality. How would it be to live hundreds of years, if nobody can remember you?
