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

3.0

I must say, this book deserves all the hype it's gotten. I love how Schwab effortlessly weaved in history, art, and the meaning of life all in one to create a deep and meaningful story. I personally loved the way there were pages where a specific art piece was incorporated and how that dominated the discussion in the upcoming chapters. I fell in love with each and every character, including Luc. The themes of loneliness, what it means to be human, and love were perfectly connected and the ending chapters really pulled at my heartstrings. I specifically loved Henry's character due to his struggle and how real and human it is. I feel his story may resonate with many, including myself. Also, THE ENDINGGGGG. I do not want to spoil anything, but let's just say it was a fitting ending for Addie, and even made me smile and cry all at once. In some parts, the story can be considered slow, but I don't mind that much, although I know some people may find it boring and not worth finishing. I feel the "slowness" of some parts adds to the long duration of Addie Larue's life and drives the point home of Addie's weariness and three hundred years of living. V.E. Schwab, thank you for writing one of my new favorite books, I will forever cherish it in my heart.
