Helpful Score: 2
This was an EXCELLENT book. I actually read it for the first time as an adult and was drawn to it right away. The concept of immortality is alluring to people of all ages, not just young adults. The story struck me as a poignant metaphor for our own reactions to aging, but it did more than that. Babitt juxtaposes the idea of immortality with toxic relationships~ those that will only lead to eternal sadness in the end. It was really interesting to read a book that hasn't any mention of vampires, and yet to see the same themes: immortality, death, eternal sadness, star-crossed relationships...
It is an excellent read at any age because the themes and meanings of the story will evolve with age. I highly recommend this book.
