I adored The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue.
It has all of my favorite things: a touch of magic, beautiful writing, character introspection, and emotion.
My favorite books tend to be ones where the characters are the focus rather than the action. I love stories that delve into what makes a person who they are, what drives them. The two main characters – Addie and Henry – are both so fascinating, and I was never bored during the story.
It was interesting seeing how her curse takes shape. And to ponder what I would do in Addie's shoes. After so many years, it's lovely to think of all the things Addie has witnessed and seen. But is it genuinely living if you have no ties, no connections?
I am, however, going to be haunted by the ending as I'm trying to fall asleep at night, left to wonder, “Why?! Why would it end like that” Which is why I'm making it our library book club selection for January so I can make other people discuss it with me.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
