In the vein of The Time Traveler's Wife and Life After Life, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is New York Times bestselling author V. E. Schwab's genre-defying tour de force.
A Life No One Will Remember. A Story You Will Never Forget.
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.

Good but not great

I so badly wanted to love this....but I just don't. Maybe it was the hype or my own unfair expectations, but it just wasn't what I was expecting.
The plot was amazing, but the actual story was more sad and depressing than the whimsy and fantasy I was looking forward to. The story was in no way terrible or badly written - just a tad darker and sadder than I expected with so little happiness to lighten the load.
Schwab is still one of my favourite authors out there but I think I'm still waiting for something that can stand up to her Darker Shades trilogy 路♀️
