When I think of this book the word fondness comes to mind, I feel a fondness for it. It wasn't one of those books that hooked me completely and I consumed it in two days. I read this book slowly, taking small sips of it to enjoy it more, to have it with me for a bit longer.
I fell in love with Addie on the first pages. I say I fell in love with her because saying I related to her wouldn't be completely right. There were moments in this book where I read something that resonated with me ina very unexpected and profound way, but more of ten than not I found myself admiring Addie, wishing I was like her, that I had her perseverance and her way of seeing the good amongst the bad.
In that way I think I'm more like Henry, more ready to give up, more worried. And still he learns from Addie.
The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is a book about many things. It is about what it truly means to live a life, it is about wanting things you can't have, about what it takes to leave a mark, it is about being remembered and being loved and how much humanity craves those things. When I started this book I already knew it was about these things, I knew I'd picked it because those are things that concern me in some way in my daily life. And still I found myself surprised by it, I found myself happy to live in its pages, enjoying my time there. With no rush for it to end.
But this book may not be for everyone, it is highly character driven and it isn't the most action-packed story in this universe. It has its faults too, I've seen people talk about its lack of diversity and I completely agree. There were things that could have been done better. But considering what the book is, what it has, what was done, I'm very very glad I read it because it is a story I needed to read.
