sarahsbookstack 's review for:
The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue
by V.E. Schwab
4.5 stars
It took me about 100 or so pages for it to pick up a bit for for me but I fell in love with Addie!
Addie prays for an escape from the way her life is headed but she makes the mistake of praying to "the gods who answer after dark".
She is then forced into an existence where people forget her as soon as they turn away. She gets to see many things come into the world over her 300 years since her deal with the devil. Then she meets Henry..... And he remembers her. How is this possible?
While I would have chosen to write him a little more rounded out, I'm glad Addie finds him.
Also over the 300 years, Luc (as he wants her to call him) pops up every now and then hoping to finish his deal with Addie. As the book went on, the more and more I wanted her to give in to Luc and all he could give her.
The ending is either supposed to leave room for a sequel or to be left to the reader's interpretation of what it means. I actually hope for the former but could be satisfied with the latter also.
