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 premise boring execution. The author writes well. A few of her lines read like poetry. And I understand the choice of a third person limited, present tense perspective. But it reads all the more hollow for it. Even as it’s likely supposed to, it feels like a cop-out. Don’t get me wrong, the author is certainly clever. But the story remains flat and weak.

Loved it. couldn't put it down A+

amazing. i loved this book

Just ok. All in all a good book. I feel like so many chunks could have been left out. It felt like it dragged at times. I don’t typically read fantasy but I would recommend this book to a friend. 3.5/5 stars. This is one of those times that I think a movie portrayal would be awesome. I think I could see the movie being 5 stars.

Interesting. One of the best books I’ve ever read!

Monotone. When I read the summary of this book, it gripped me and pulled me in. Sadly, it was all I could do to finish it. It is beautifully written but painfully boring and dull. I expected more intrigue, more adventure, and I definitely had high hopes for it being able to make me feel a wide range of emotions. It was a super neat storyline and a cool idea, but this book was extremely monotone.

Interesting concept, but I got a little bored.. Not bad, but not great.

Stick with it. Gets a little tedious with the details in the middle of the book, but the ending is perfection.

3 stars / unpopular opinion. I’m irritated that Goodreads always shuts down the app whenever I am doing a long review for a book. So for now, I’ll keep it to the point. I give this book 3.5 to 3.75 stars. I would have given it 4, because by the end of the book, I was smitten and I did love all the characters, even the villain of the story. However, it’s not getting 4 stars only because I almost gave up reading the book. I just wasn’t that pulled into the novel until the last 100 pages. If I had put the book down before that, I still wouldn’t have even been able to give it too low of a score because it is written in such a way I can envision all of the characters and the scenery and even the difficult parts to pull off, like when it was time for Luc to take his souls - I was able to imagine the entire thing. Anyways, because it took me about 320 pages to get into the book, I can’t give it a solid 4 stars. However, by the end I was leaning towards a higher score. I have two more of her books in my pile of unread books thus far. Not sure if I’m excited to start the other ones, or feeling a bit of worry that I might not be entranced on that interested until the final act. I will say - I did love the villain by the end. And I think that because the author was exploring that character arc/development a bit more, I found the book more entertaining and interested at that point. Until then, even Henry was pretty forgettable, similar to the first few lovers that Addie had.

Well written. This was a great read! I really enjoyed the strong female lead character.

Wow. Just, wow.. What an absolutely beautiful book from start to finish.

Read it all in one sitting. Haven’t read a book this good in a long time. Very well done

Long but worth it!. An ending can make or break a book, and this ending was worth all of the character building that led up to it!

The invisible life of Addie large. Excellent.

Great read. Very good

WOW. I laughed. I cried. I loved. Just.. Wow. I think that’s the best book I’ve ever read.

5/5. Very good!

Felt super long but so worth it.. It took me a while to get through this cause I kept picking it up and putting it back down. But honestly can say this is one of the most uniquely written books I’ve ever read. The last 100 pages were the most interesting I would say. Definitely a slow burn but worth it in the end. Love that this author left the potential for a sequel and I would definitely revisit these characters if they do return! Chills at the end.

It’s worth the wait!. I started this book and 1/3 of the way in put it down because I wasn’t sure I was really into it. I decided to pick it back up a few nights ago and I’m so glad I did. What an ending. Love this one so much.

A breath of fresh air. This book will make you feel so many things all at once. My heart hasn’t been fluttering of happiness in awhile but this book made me feel more than just sadness that I been feeling lately. This book filled me with hope that life is more than the bubble I created for myself. Highly recommend to read this masterpiece 🌷

My favorite novel!. This book made me feel like I was part of the story. I felt like I was transported to a different world.

Loved it!. This book was so good!!

It’s a good book. Perfect summer read, it has everything. Love, hate, evil, passion, history, comedy. It’s nothing super cathartic or groundbreaking. Just a good easy read.

Loved every page of it.. So beautifully written.

Fantastic Read. I could hardly put this book down. A fantastic and moving adventure.

Read!. Even the acknowledgements were fantastic. Making a mark in your lifetime is a purpose. Sometimes we don't see it. Sometimes we want to quit. Sometimes we want to surrender. If we could only wait one more piece of time, we would find it. Great read and it will be a great discussion.

i want to die. BEST BOOK EVER I CANT

Amazing. This book really makes you think, makes you ask yourself some hard questions. I loved everything about it!

Great. I liked it but it was a little lengthy in places that didn’t need it in my opinion.

The Invisible life Addie LaRue. I really enjoyed Addie LaRue. It caught my within the first few pages. And at times i thought it to be borderline young adult genra but it had a great ending it I over all enjoyed this read very much!!!

wow. i really super enjoyed it a lot. idk why but i liked the thought of luc and addie together?? idk anyways i’m glad the book ended how it ended. i loved it.

Very blah. I really wanted to like this book but it wasn’t very enthralling

I’ve lost so much sleep.. I got this book a few days ago, because I have always been a fan of V.E Schwab’s work. But this story is so unique and so captivating that I have spent the last few days devouring each word on every page of this book. Now, after reading the final chapters, I can finally sleep. And I couldn’t be happier. Sweet dreams my fellow insomniacs.

A read to be treasured.. An exceptional work of art filled with beauty and heartbreak and hope.

The Invisible lol Life of Addis LaRue. Loved it. It was mysterious and had a strong woman as the main character. I loved that she could live forever and not be a vampire.

Living while losing.. I am grateful for the explanation of emotions and consequences that were revealed. When you have lost someone the range and depth can be so great that it overwhelms and slips past. Addie helps me relive that time and delve into feelings and fears and joy that I did not comprehend at that horrible, numb wasteland of unexpected tragic loss. I am grateful. barb

So unique. Addie’s story is so cool to lose yourself for a few hours in. I just kept wanting to read more about what she got up to and the relationship with her dark friend…it was strange to root for it but not know if I should…

I will never forget.. I could tell you all the wonderful things that make this book magical or you could do yourself a favor and read it. I’ve never felt such longing for two people to meet again and yet, this is such a fitting way to go. Thank you for Addie’s (and Henry’s) story.

I love Addie La Rue!!. She was so courageous from beginning to end! A tough, smart female character.

Fantastic!. I really enjoyed this book. I thought it was well written and the story kept me captivated. I would recommend.

Terrific read!. Beautifully written. Interesting and effective organization of chapters. Deserves a large audience. V.E. has a new fan!

Magical story of love and triumph. I loved everything about this book. From the characters who were connected across time to the shadows that tempt the light. This book was a beautiful escape and a tangible reminder to live life past the edges.

Enchanting but long. I loved this book! I couldn’t put it down. Granted, it’s probably twice as long as it needs to be as it starts to get a bit drawn out and predictable about halfway through. But it’s such a beautiful, fantastical story. You really get lost on the magic of it all! Definitely recommend and would read again.

You MUST read! Life changing!. This book is one of the best books or at least one of the most intense & thoughtful books. I honestly could not put down and I’ve re-read this three times. It’s really that good. I’ve been waiting and hoping that V.I. LaRue will write a sequel.

The devil. Credit for the big imagination and story telling however this book was dark and disturbing. Disappointing the author thought this would be a welcomed escape…. The devil?????

Terrible. I’m supposed to believe the literal devil, a thing that has haunted the Earth since its existence, couldn’t stop himself from falling in love with a random white lady from 17th century France?

Read this!!!. Must read!!! The writing is enthralling and worth every second. Do not think about reading any other book before this one.

5 STARS. Amazing!

Loved it. Amazing. I loved every page. It ended perfectly.

Very well written.. I am very impressed. I didn’t know this author before this book, and now I’m going to read more from her without question. The story has so much depth. Definitely recommend it!

The invisible life of Addie Larue. Mesmerizing.

Addie Larue is. Unforgettable.

Ending makes it worth it. The ending was brilliant and poignant, and talks about what it means to be human, and the beauty of impermanence. How life is worth living, for its joys, despite its pains. It’s important to note, however, middle part drags on and there are many repetitive cycles that as a reader, I started to lose interest. However, I will give it the benefit of the doubt in the sense that it illustrated Addie’s life, an interesting one but without much substance. The writing is very flowery, for those who enjoys that. I found it too flowery at times

Couldn’t put it down. Written so well! Can’t wait for another

Couldn’t Put it Down. This isn’t going to be the most helpful review, because I don’t have the words to describe how this book touched my soul. If I could give it 7 stars (one for each freckle) I would. I will keep coming back to this story again and again.
