The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

i was really looking forward to this book because i'd only recently finished Schwab's Shades of Magic trilogy, which i adored and found was...very different from Addie Larue. there was a lot of action and distinct characters and witty, oftentimes laugh out loud banter and there was...none of that in this one. very different tones. her writing is as beautiful as ever, but i can't help but feel like lengthy exposition and wistful internal monologuing can only engage a reader so much.

i finally got into the book around page 330 i think. it took far too long. and then it was over.
