This spellbinding tale of love, loss, and the weight of our choices swept me off my feet, but the ending had me questioning some of my love.

In a moment of desperation to define her life for herself, Adeline makes a Faustian bargain. She exchanges her anonymity for an endless life of adventure. After 300 years alone, she finally finds someone she can connect with for more than just a night.

The interplay between the real world and the mystical one is flawlessly executed, with V.E. Schwab crafting a universe where past and present intertwine with captivating ease.

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is not just a story; it's a deep exploration of the human experience and our quest for legacy. Schwab weaves a delicate tapestry of emotions, forcing the reader ponder the significance of our own impact on the world and those around us.

While I was captivated by Addie's incredible journey throughout the pages, I must admit that the ending left me with a bad taste in my mouth.

This is a haunting tale that pushes the boundaries of time, love, and the fleeting nature of life itself. While the ending may not be everyone's cup of tea, the journey is worth every page turned.
