The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

3.25 Stars

The reviews for this book made me extremely excited to read it. So many people talked about the beauty and heartache of the story and that is right up my alley. I am disappointed to say I did not love it. While the story is incredibly interesting and the writing is beautiful, I felt bored most of the story. The last 25% of the book saved it for me but not enough to redeem the whole thing. I was disappointed in the little I learned about the narrator. She lived such a long life and overcame so much and I just wanted to be emerged in that story line. Instead we got a love story that she questioned if it was even love to the very end of the novel. Her story line with the dark was what had me enthralled and that even seemed a bit half baked.

Overall amazing writing, interesting story but was hard for me to get through and left me wanting so much more. I think the hype is what had me feeling so let down. I am, however, very excited to read more of this author.
