The Unfinished Life of Addison Stone made Addison seem so real. Like she was a legit real person and not just a character. I actually thought I was reading a biography until I tried to look her up.
It was obvious a lot of work went into creating Addison and her world. The book was filled with pictures of her, the people in her life, her art, magazine covers, etc. This really helped with the world building as it made her really seem like she was actually alive at one point of time.
The Unfinished Life of Addison Stone isn't written like your average fiction novel. It’s essentially a biography about a character that is conducted through interviews given by other people which was nicely done.
Speaking of characters, I liked Lucy, Addison’s best friend since childhood, and Lincoln, her last boyfriend, the most as they seem to really be the only ones that genuinely cared her without expecting anything in return. Too bad I can’t say the same for some of the other characters.
