A review by lizziaha
The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab

3.5

The writing was absolutely beautiful, but as someone who relishes the connections between characters, this was not the book for me. Since Addie is always forgotten, it’s impossible for her to forge relationships with people, except one man and the devil. While it’s an interesting concept, none of the characters were compelling enough for me to really love it. And I wasn’t entirely sold on Addie’s relationship with either of the two men. Additionally, I was perplexed by the decision to write a book that’s primarily set in the past in present tense. I didn’t like it very much. That being said, the attention to detail included and the absolute joy that Addie finds in life is inspiring.
