The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab
reflective
medium-paced
4.5
The framing, seeing the story play out from two different timelines, worked well for the story. At times, it was like a bucket of cold water on the excitement going on in 2014, but I didn’t mind that too much.
It’s pretty introspective and good concept. It was fun learning the rules along with Addie, as well as the ways she could bend them.
The ending was good, though the fourth wall break isn’t my favorite thing. It entirely makes sense given the story, but the book being the same and not the same was a little weird for me. The very end was a pretty triumphant, exciting girlboss moment
