If the word 'beautiful' had a face, it would be this book.

EDIT: I decided to lower my rating from 4.5 stars to 3.5 stars because of the lack of diversity! You mean to tell me that you live for over 300 years and you didn’t meet any person of colour?!
This is ridiculous! Even for me!


OUT OF FIVE
RATING: 3.5(rounding it up because I'm a good person)
PLOT: 5
CHARACTERS: 4
ROMANCE: 4

A Life No One Will Remember. A Story You Will Never Forget
It took me long enough!!
School sucks but at least this book didn't.
This was a heart wrenching and beautiful read.

5⭐️

I loved the concept and I loved how it was delivered even more, Schwab’s writing style is just . . . incandescent.

The pace was complimentary to the content, which was so addictive I’m at a loss for words to describe it, just know it was so beautiful I was reduced to tears.

This might be unpopular but I actually loved the ending, it’s not unlike how I wanted it to play out.

I’ve seen a lot of people who don’t like Henry but I disagree, likely because I can definitely see myself making the same ‘

4.5 stars ⭐️ I will remember you!
I loved the second half, and the book is so cleverly written, I loved the art on the new section pages and how real people were perfectly intertwined into the story. However, I struggled through the first 100 pages. I just felt it was slow and I struggled to love Addie, but for anyone else who felt it was slow, keep going, it is so worth it.
But after that, I fell in love with the story and I know it’s bad but I kind of liked Luc despite everything 😂

disclaimer [29.11.2022]: uploading my half-written review i wrote nearly two years ago for archival purposes. needs a reread. also why did i take writing reviews so seriously. starts to fall apart near the end lol.

a review; the invisible life of addie larue

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is a 300 year story of love, loss, and life. It is a beautifully written, poignant, and heart breaking story of a desperate young woman who becomes forgotten by the world in order to live a life of freedom.

I felt for Henry. I truly did.
In a way I get what Addie had to face.
I even understand Luc and his absurd deals.
But the ending had me crying For Henry and then Addie.
The way he yearned for more time with Addie.
Time she had and he didn't.

And I'm absolutely floored by the way she played with Luc and beat him at his own game and he doesn't even know it yet.

PS:- if only Luc and Henry learned to share I'd have been the happiest person in the whole world.

I can see them all 3 together.
So yeah this hit
