The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab
4.0
The amt of times this book has made me dozed off is... too many. Every sentence gives off poetry everywhere, deep quotes everywhere, which no hate to this author, she def delivers. My preference is just more to scenes, events and a few scattered quotes in a book. However, ilm not denying this book is amazing from characters to plots and their stories.
I love our protagonist Addie. She's strong,
independent, stubborn, everything i love in a lady. I also loveeee Luc and Henry. With Lucy i love how they have a long history, the constant feel, their similarities, everytime they meet i scream "admit to each other already!" hahaha. And sweet Henry, who's so lost, who is wandering, who so wants to be loved bc he's not enough breaks my heart and makes me want to give him a big hug.
The first 1 50 pages to me, was a repetitive suffering of Addie's tale which i can understand since the author wanted us readers to connect with her long suffering tho, i was begging not to be repetitive towards the end and ilm so happy that it didnt! after knowing Henry it gets interesting, how he was able to bend that curse. And after i learned the truth of his way, his time, how the devil was playing them both, it broke meeee to piecess (i hate Luc for stealing that precious time he had but i also love him ughh its a love-hate rs). One takeaway of the book which I've realized is that its 100% 'white culture and aesthetic'. Addie was given freedom and the only countries she traveled was limited. Why did the author limit to continents? She could've gone far away and experience new cultures.
Overall, is it overhyped? TOTALLY NOT. its just my preference not to like something poetic
