The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue has been causing quite a stir in the book community and for good reason.<\/p>\n
This beautiful book totally enchanted me and I ended up reading it two times in one month because it was just that good.<\/p>\n
I initially picked up this book as the early reviews were raving and the premise of a romance including a character of the literal devil was intriguing.<\/p>\n
But this novel blew my already high expectations out of the water.<\/p>\n
V.E.Schwab wrote an epic tale of romance with a fast plot which kept me on my toes the whole time.<\/p>\n
Addie LaRue makes a deal with the devil but not all is what it seems as instead of immortality he makes her invisible, figuratively.<\/p>\n
She can live forever but any person that she meets will forget her as soon as she is out of their eyesight.<\/p>\n
Leading to a rather miserable existence for the main character.<\/p>\n
The novel follows Addie from the 18th century to present day and how she finds ways to leave a mark on the world despite the devil's curse.<\/p>\n
This book brought about a few existential crises in myself as it forces you to ponder your own impact and what you would do differently if you never aged.<\/p>\n
The biggest pleasure of this book was the unravelling of Addies past as she travels the world and slowly grows into herself.<\/p>\n
Schwab doesnt give you all of this information in one go.<\/p>\n
She slowly drip feeds you the secrets of Addies past which constantly surprise me.<\/p>\n
By the end of this book I was an emotional wreck, Schwab tears out the reader's heart several times and I loved it.<\/p>\n
If like me the never ending pandemic is extending your singledom then I would highly recommend this novel to fill that romance hole.<\/p>\n
