The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue
by V.E. Schwab
I saw this book blowing up on social media across the board and was intrigued. I was worried that due to the hype, it would let me down. But it did not disappoint!
Addie LaRue has lived a remarkable life for hundreds of years though no one remembers her. Although the story started off really slow and there were times were I just didn’t know if it was worth going on and finishing, I ended up really, really happy that like Addie, I persevered.
It was really powerful in a way where it makes you think about your life, and the people you meet. What if you were destined to live a life similar where you remember everyone and everything, but they don’t remember you? Living thorough so many centuries and seeing all of these amazing and incredible things come to life - sky scrapers, electricity, cars, and so much more!
One thing that never changed though, was books. And that is where she meets Henry. The boy who after 300 years, remembers her.
It’s a unique situation the two find themselves in and it’s heart-wrenching and beautiful and just all the feels in between.
Overall, if you’re looking for a powerful and unique story, I think this might be it for you. Again, I will caution on how the story tends to drag in places, but all of that detail ultimately becomes relevant so it IS important.
