I was truly expecting a gut wrenching tale, in the likes of Addie LaRue. But unfortunately it fell a tad short for me. I absolutely loved the setup and how our characters are stuck in this curse. It really was just missing something, a soul, that extra feeling to connect to these characters. We are being told about their epic love and being reincarnated every 18 years but not really shown why their love was so strong or how they got there. It felt unfinished and bare bones.

Jumping between many timelines and recollections was a good plot device, I liked the experiences and memories they were able to keep. The highlight is Evelyn’s 2022 timeline plight to save her sister with a bone marrow transplant, her relationship with her mother and the life she wanted to keep living.

The writing was beautiful and I found myself trying to remember some of the phrases and poetic thoughts, a bit hard to do on audio! The phrase they repeat the most and adds that extra needed feeling for me was “I love you. I have loved you, and I will love you.” – reminiscent of “I remember you” from Addie LaRue. Definitely recommend for the prose alone.

Thank you to Macmillan Audio for the free audiobook copy to review. Narration was performed by Sofia Oxenham and I really enjoyed her delivery and accent. She added an otherworldly atmosphere to the novel that kept me interested in the story.
