The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

V.E. Schwab

DID NOT FINISH: 48%

All classical romantic vibes and very little plot or character depth. Not bad, but not what I'm looking for right now. 

Exactly what it claims to be - a fairly well written account of several crimes and their subsequent investigation by Harper Lee. 

The narrator's interpretation of a Southern accent was annoying enough to knock down my rating a bit.
