Review - The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue
AUTHOR: V.E. Schwab
RATING: ★★★★★
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Summary (from Goodreads): France, 1714: in a moment of desperation, a young woman makes a Faustian bargain to live forever and is cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets.
Thus begins the extraordinary life of Addie LaRue, and a dazzling adventure that will play out across centuries and continents, across history and art, as a young woman learns how far she will go to leave her mark on the world.
But everything changes when, after nearly 300 years, Addie stumbles across a young man in a hidden bookstore and he remembers her name.
REVIEW: What a wonderful story! The plot intrigued me from the very beginning, and it’s honestly unlike anything I’ve ever read before. V.E. Schwab is an incredible writer. Her words flow so effortlessly - it was almost like reading poetry. There were many times a certain quote or line just stopped me in my tracks, and all I could think of was “Damn...she is really good!” Miss Schwab, I tip my hat to you. From one author to another, I just have to say you have truly inspired me. Thank you for that. For anyone reading this review who hasn’t read The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue yet, I just have to ask...what are you waiting for?
