The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

What an absolute TREAT this book was. Incredibly written, in-depth, expansive, worldly, kaleidescope of a novel. I am so happy that my book club is reading this and I cant wait to discuss. There was just so much to unpack in this novel. Love, adventure, independence, survival, history, ARTTTTTTT, longing, sadness, sacrifice, revenge. This novel follows a girl named Addie Larue who ends up selling her soul to the devil to live a life different from the one she has at the moment the deal was made. She lives over 300 years and in that time span, she touches so many artists, their lives and their art and minds, although there are circumstances to her ‘marks'. The intricacy and delicacy in which VE Schwab weaves her story is painstakingly beautiful. I cried several times throughout this novel because of its wholesomeness. It was one of those books where I wish that there was more, but at the same time I'm glad there wasn't because it was all wrapped up so well. I would highly recommend diving into this book and shutting yourself away from the world to submerge yourself in Addie's world. 5/5 stars.
