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

5.0

"I want to be free. Free to live, and to find my own way, to love, or to be alone, but at least it is my choice, and I am so tired of not having choices, so scared of the years rushing past beneath my feet. I do not want to die as I've lived, which is no life at all."

This book wrecked me in the best way possible. Its sad and really depressing at times but also so complex with themes that just broke my heart and mended it hundred times over. I just couldn't put it down. The writing is so beautiful, the plot so unique and the characters are so wholesome.


I saw so much of my younger self in both Addie and Henry. They are flawed in the best way possible, but that only made their struggles seem so genuine and real. I could relate so much to these characters. Their self doubt, their feeling of hopelessness and of just not being good enough, of feeling lost, their need to be free and live life on their own terms, the need to feel appreciated and loved, and just be more in life.


I have quote after quote highlighted on my Kindle because they just spoke to me so strongly. I am so glad that I picked up this book. It's definitely going to be one of the best books that I have read in my entire life.
