Ugh. When you want to find out the plot twist but the writing style and characters make you not want to read the book. I thought the premise of this book sounded interesting but I could NOT get into it. The voice of the writer was not at all compelling and in fact irritated me. Like they were trying too hard to be artistic. I don’t mind a slow book if it’s worth it, this one wasn’t. The character development and likability was very low for me as well. I read the first 20 pages, skimmed until she met Henry, and skipped to the end. Honestly feel like I didn’t miss anything important in those 200+ pages I missed. Also, stealing and sleeping around to find places to live and things to eat is basically the most uncreative way to sustain an immortal life. It felt like a way for the author to live out her own sexual and kleptomaniac fantasies. The only part of the book I found myself enjoying was when she snuck into the actors apartment. Like I said I just skimmed the end so didn’t read this closely, but the end relationship with Luc is TOXIC. I have no idea why modern authors are romanticizing toxic relationships, especially toxic sexual relationships, and aiding their perpetuation. Do we not all want better?
