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.

Thinking Face“I really don't know how to rate this book to be honest. It took me such a long time to get into it. I felt like I didn't know what I was reading the first part of the book. Probably a little over half way, and I finally started to want to know where this is going or what is happening. Still though, I never really knew where the story line was heading. As a whole, I guess I can say I somewhat enjoyed the book. I liked the story line between Henry and Addie. I wish there were more of that then the random stories from Addie's past. The only stories in her past that were relevant were when Luc was in them. Luc was a good villian in my opinion. Maybe this would be a case where a movie is better than the book perhaps? I did like the little twist revenge at the end. Think Addie follows through with her plan?”

Loudly Crying Face“probably one of my favourite books i've read this year. i thought i would cry but i didn't because the ending was a little predictable in my opinion, but that doesn't take away from the reading experience that is this book.”
