In the vein of The Time Traveler’s Wife and Life After Life, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is New York Times bestselling author V. E. Schwab’s genre-defying tour de force.

A Life No One Will Remember. A Story You Will Never Forget.

France, 1714: in a moment of desperation, a young woman makes a Faustian bargain to live forever—and is cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets.

Thus begins the extraordinary life of Addie LaRue, and a dazzling adventure that will play out across centuries and continents, across history and art, as a young woman learns how far she will go to leave her mark on the world.

But everything changes when, after nearly 300 years, Addie stumbles across a young man in a hidden bookstore and he remembers her name.

Jamie’s review

Everyone loves this book and I now understand why. It was a leeeeetle slow for me, but by the end, I could not put it down.

SUCH beautiful writing and character development. Omg. I could not believe the emotional rollercoaster I went on with Addie, Luc, and Henry. The concept is brilliant, I've never read anything like it. What a story. I thought about it for weeks after finishing it and I still think about it now.

Not romantasy, but does have elements of magic, deals with the devil, and immortality. And love. So I would still recommend it to my romantasy-loving besties. It's clever and Addie is a top notch FMC. Love love love this book.
