If you're looking for a book that's going to make you cry from beginning to end then look no further.
The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue tore my heart apart and the through it in the garbage.

This book is one of the most amazing stories I have ever read and a definite highlight of my 2021, even though, the year just started. It is also one of the most interesting 'be careful what you wish for' / 'deal with the devil' stories I have ever read. The ending was also bittersweet, as I was hoping it woul ...more

Wow I’ve been reading nothing but amazing books this year! This has been on my radar for a LONG time and I’m so glad I got around to it. The writing is beautifully captivating and heartbreaking and even though it feels otherworldly, some aspects really ground it to reality. For example, Henry Strauss is an east coast New York City jew with odd relations with his family and his faith. Yet his whole life and at odds with his faith made it seem like someone real in my life and brining such depth to ...more

Is there a way to give this book 6 stars? I already know this will probably be the best book I’ll read this year! (Unless I read again the Six of Crows Series lol)

This was so wonderful. I loved the prose and how melancholic it was and it is perfect considering the ending.

I loved every page and the ending was so cleaver… until the last page I didn’t know what would have happened.

Amazing story, amazing characters… an unforgettable book!

Antes de ler esse eu estava lendo Bewitched, que é justamente o oposto: uma mulher que constantemente perde memórias enquanto todos ao seu redor se lembram. E aí mergulhei nesse livro, em que a protagonista se lembra de tudo, mas ninguém se lembra dela.
Foi uma experiência bem maluca.
Eu acho que já li um livro da Schwab, mas faz bastante tempo. Fiquei positivamente surpresa com a qualidade da escrita dela aqui. Amei os capítulos alternados entre o passado e presente. O modo sutil como o Henr ...more

This is my first V. E. Schwab book and I have to say I love the way she writes. Her words flow smoothly and I noticed that this book has a bittersweet nostalgic twinge to it. I don’t know why but I feel like I’ve read this before, like I’ve found pieces of this story long ago scattered across places I can’t recall.

The characters seem familiar, especially the darkness since he literally has the exact same looks and temperament as the antihero in the book I’m planning to write. (For legal purpose ...more
