The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab

3.0

I love a good Faustian re-telling so naturally this piqued my interest, but it just didn't do it for me. It's an intriguing premise and I loved it in the beginning, but the pacing is ridiculously slow and couldn't hold my interest. There's a lot of unnecessary scenes that seem to serve the same purpose. The constant hop between the past and present timelines was incredibly frustrating to read and the characters are flat and hard to root for. There's a lot of quotable, heartfelt lines in here but unfortunately, they're lost in a bloated plot.
