The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

This was such an excellent book. It has a lot in common with The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August and The Sudden Appearance of Hope by Claire North. It even takes the same central conceit as The Sudden Appearance of Hope: a woman who is immediately forgotten by everyone who meets her.

Addie LaRue is a far more personal and emotional book, though. The deal with the devil aspect felt both refreshingly original and like a classic example of the Faustian bargain I was hoping for. Around 20% in the story took an unexpected turn that made me fall in love.

I had two cheesy lines prepared for this review before I even read it, and I'm thrilled to say I get to use the positive one. The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue left a mark on me that won't soon be forgotten.
