The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab
3.0
I really struggled to get through this book. On the positive side, it was beautifully written and I found the concept of Addie being “invisible” and immortal both tragic and interesting. Besides that, it was almost a DNF for me cause I just didn’t want to pick it back up.
I found Addie and Henry pretty insufferable and their romance lacking any substance, passion, or interesting conflict or adventure. I was actually way more into the story with Luc and seeing Addie experience different historical events, and I wish we had gotten to see more of that.
Switching to the audiobook got me over the hump of this book, so I do recommend that because it translates really nicely to audio.
