The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab
5.0
✨ The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue ✨
•
One of my favorite books of the year sneaking in right at the end. This book received so much attention on bookstagram and for good reason in my opinion.
•
We follow the story of Addie LaRue, born in Villon, France in the 1700s when she makes a Faustian deal to avoid marriage and the prospect of not belonging only to herself. However, no one she meets can remember her for as long as she lives. This story contains love, friendship, self-discovery, magic, art, good and evil, the devil, and just about everything I could want in a story.
•
When I finished this book, I was utterly speechless. It’s one of those books that made me feel so many emotions and hit on just about every point it could have made while not being overcrowded. I was hyper-invested in the lives of Addie, Henry, and Luc (the devil) and was completely transported every time I picked up the book.
•
For me, this was a no-brainer 5/5 star read (or 7 stars out of 5 haha book jokes). I did contemplate giving it 4.5 stars because the story was pretty long and consistently returned to the story of Addie and Luc but I realized that I actually loved that aspect of the story so it would only boost my rating for the book, not lower it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
