In the vein of The Time Traveler’s Wife and Life After Life, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is New York Times bestselling author V. E. Schwab’s genre-defying tour de force.

A Life No One Will Remember. A Story You Will Never Forget.

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 couldn’t put it down. I read it in an entire afternoon and had tears in my eyes at the end. Such a beautiful story so well written so full of.

    Give me a few months and I’ll be reading this again in hopes of experiencing the same emotions I felt the first time reading. A secret masterpiece I will forever hold dearly.

  • Read it in a day.

    I don’t think there’s ever been a story that captivated me so much that I would finish the whole thing in a single day. I happened to see a recommendation on tiktok and decided to read the sample and I could not put it down. It’s now midnight and I started reading earlier in the day close to noon. I did not stop reading. I can’t say how much I loved this book, I’m not good with words. But I have an awful attention span. Yet somehow this book had my full attention for hours. Absolutely amazing read. Thanks so much to the author.

  • Captivating

    It did take me a little time to get into the story but once I did - I was hooked. I was hooked on the journey through time. I was hooked on the characters and the connection I felt to them. I was anxious with them and overwhelmed with emotions as the story unfolded at the end. I would highly recommend this read for a journey of appreciating where you are in life and who you have with you on this wild ride.

    i rate this book a solid 3.5 stars. the writing was beautiful and the plot was so good, i just found it to be slow and hard to get into. i think i finished it in around ten days, which is pretty good for such a dense book (dense is a good word to describe it). i definitely recommend, the romance was so sweet, and the end made me go explain the whole book to my mom and plead for a second!

  • Addie LaRue an interesting tale

    It took a few chapters to get the whole story but when I did I couldn’t wait to see what happened to Adeline. Supernatural devil take over soul type story.

  • A fabulous, easy read!

    This book was amazing. I kept wondering what was going to happen and when I figured it out I was like ‘no Addie!’ (Like she could hear me lol). I loved it. I highly recommend it!

  • A memorable good read!

    This book kept me very interested, and , although a fantasy of sorts, it never really felt like that, it felt plausible, even though you know it isn’t. I loved the characters and the individual personalities of each, and will miss them and wish there was still more to read of their lives.

    I loved this story. It’s one of those books that takes you out of yourself and into each time and place. I rooted for Addie, I rooted for Luc. It was great.
