The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab
5.0
“That time always ends a second before you’re ready.
That life is the minutes you want minus one.”
This was such a well written book and overall beautiful story. I loved the casual queer relationships as it felt very refreshing. I loved the dark elements to the story — who doesn’t love a good devil soul exchange? Speaking of .. LUC! He was written SO WELL. I loved and hated him. This story captures the complexity of emotion, life’s necessary pain and vulnerabilities, the contrast of love vs. possession/obsession, and without spoiling TOO MUCH, the book ended up being so meta! Loved that
I found Henry so relatable and my heart ached and warmed for him. Addie is a beautifully dynamic character and I love how her story is so connected to art itself and how that truly became her way of “leaving her mark,” so to speak.
I was hesitant about reading this, only because it almost felt more contemporary than what Im used to but it was just fantasy enough to keep me in—and boy am I glad. Such a beautiful, yet tragic at times, story.
