The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab is a book that touched my heart deeply. It tells the story of Addie LaRue, a young woman who makes a wish to live forever, but the catch is, nobody remembers her once they look away. The story spans centuries, showing us snippets of Addie's life as she navigates through the ups and downs of being forgotten.
What I loved the most about this book is how it pulls you into Addie's world. It's like taking a step into a river of stories that carry you along with the current. The writing is beautiful and easy to read, making it a joy to turn each page. There are moments of joy, sorrow, love, and loss that are so well-described, I felt like I was living them alongside Addie.
The book also makes you think about the big things in life - like what it means to be remembered, and the price of freedom. It's not just a fantasy tale, but a deep dive into very real human feelings and desires. The characters, especially Addie, are so well-developed, you can't help but root for them, even when they make mistakes.
One more thing that struck me was the theme of art and inspiration that runs through the pages. It's fascinating to see how Addie's unique life becomes a source of inspiration for artists over the centuries. The blend of romance and suspense keeps you hooked till the last page.
I also enjoyed the bits of humor sprinkled throughout the story. Despite some sad moments, the book has a hopeful tone that left me feeling uplifted. It's a story that stays with you long after you've finished reading.
The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is a fantastic book that I'd happily read again. It's a rich story that is both entertaining and thought-provoking, a rare find that I'd recommend to anyone.
