August 2022 Standalone BOTM - The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, by V.E. Schwab

[Alaina]

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.

Part 7 (view spoiler)[I was not expecting that ending! I loved that Henry made the book for Addie, and I wasn't expecting that her terms would have that twist. I almost feel like her story isn't done. (hide spoiler)]
