The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue
Victoria Schwab
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.
I am very close to DNF-ing this book. The pacing is so slow and I'm not connecting with Addie. Anyone have spoiler free motivation for this book? ⚠️ Spoilers may be in comments for those wanting to read this book!
5But just this much further and I'm much more intrigued. Meeting Henry is a major turning point/ energy boost. Especially as the first chapter of part two is from his POV, which was super interesting. And I think if I didn't know there would be someone who does remember her, I thought the writing of his POV was carefully crafted as to be unclear if he does/n't remember her. I mean, we're getting his POV, we can assume he's pretty important. I do feel I'm enjoying the 2014 timeline more than the old one, which may be because the old timeline is very early days when Addie is still bumbling and stressed.
