I know that was partially just wishful thinking on her part, but she had to know that Luc was everywhere, seeing everything all the time. When Addie began talking about Luc and keeping Henry away from him, hoping Luc wouldn't know that there had been some sort of oversight. Did you believe it was true love or just another form of a relationship of convenience? It all happened so fast but I believed it, I was thrilled when he remembered her in the book store. On the topic of relationships of convenience, another discussion was directed at Henry and Addie's love. I think it was definitely more of a relationship of convenience he was the only consistent thing in her long life and she was lonely and I think he probably was too.
One of my book friends mentioned Stockholm Syndrome but I didn't fully agree. Speaking of their affair, I felt like it was definitely enemies to lovers to enemies again. I wanted more of him in this book once it became clear he was going to keep coming around and messing with Addie, he was just very well written, very intriguing. I would absolutely read a book all about him, his story and the endless dark deals he's made through time. Luc was a great antagonist that you love to hate.
Obviously, I loved Addie and I loved the way she moved through the world, surviving as best she could, never backing down from Luc. I may have tried to word it differently, hindsight and all, but as someone who has a deep fear of dying before I'm "done", the idea of getting to live forever and once I am tired I can relinquish. One of the first talking points I had was "would you take this deal?" My answer was 100% yes. Everyone really enjoyed this book so I count the month of April as a huge success, especially when compared to the first book we read together. I want to talk about some of my favorite parts of this book and outline some of the talking points we discussed at the book club meeting too.
