Invisible Life of Adie Larue

It’s been almost three months since I’ve finished this book and it’s like something I have never read before. There is something about the way Schwab writes, it makes you lose yourself in it and I was so lost. It is my most annotated book and it’s just me swooning over the writing on every other page.At first, the length in the middle of the book felt a tad bit long but then when I finally finished the last chapter and processed this work of perfection it all made sense. The ending is so freaking clever and it made me fall for the gorgeous mind behind it all.It is extremely character-driven and dances around the theme of existentialism in multiple ways. Every single word is purposeful and crucial to convey the soul of this intricate story. The manner in which the feeling of absolute loneliness with the constant yearning for connection and conversation is written is phenomenal.A masterpiece everyone needs to experience once in their lives.

The condition of the book is perfect!!

My most anticipated read of the year. I will be honest. It was very difficult to write a review of this one. What did this book make me feel? Melancholy, sad and…incomplete. Schwab knows how to write, I will give you that!This is a story about Addie who makes a deal with the devil to escape marriage so that she can travel the world and live an adventurous life. However, as with every deal, there is a catch. While Addie escapes marriage and gets to see the world, people forget her. For her freedom, she is cursed to be instantly forgotten by anyone she meets once she is out of sight. For years together she lives an invisible life, until one day she meets Henry…who remembers her.This story is about Addie’s stubbornness, her sheer will to live life on her own terms. Inspite of being hurt, neglected, abused and forgotten, her determination remains unfazed. There is definitely a romance in the story but that’s not the heart of the book. Addie’s love for life, her wish to create a lasting impression in the world is the center of the story. The biggest strength of this book is Schwab’s writing. It is poetic and engaging and since I love quotes and poems I just loved it!However, I felt something was missing. I was so happy halfway through the book but then I somehow felt lost. I could not connect with the book. Having said that, I found this story quite intriguing. Addie’s loneliness, how miserable she felt - not having any friends, not being able to create memories, and simply ceasing to exist from someone’s life who meant a world to you just a moment ago was heartbreaking.“𝙄𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙨𝙖𝙙, 𝙤𝙛 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚, 𝙩𝙤 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙚𝙩.

Package was good.

looks like a cheap copy especially because of the line spacing, page formatting and the flimsy cover.i have high hopes for the story atleast

The invisible life of Addie LaRueIn the recent years when I've learnt the art of reading without a physical book, I've earned the perk of highlighting and bookmarking pages without soiling them; a way to get back to the the crux and relish. Addie, unfortunately is the book I've highlighted way too much and a revisit would equal a reread (gladly) !The story of a girl, who lived in a small town and wanted freedom. Her wish was granted, but only at a cost. She will live from moment to moment without belonging to a single one! Freedom comes when there's no belonging, no memory; even to your own name. She belongs to noone and nowhere and is remembered by none. Except, one fine day she meets someone who she thinks is enough, because maybe he remembers...Do we ever know what we really want and yet how stubborn can we get? Are we prepared to pay its price? Can something that we thought would be a miracle turn into a lifetime of mistake? But then, can two mistakes create a miracle again? Can the universe ever err? And in the end, is there an escape door to deals?We use words so loosely that they lose meaning. The journey of a lifetime could change by using seemingly harmless words in the most harmful places! A beautiful word play and a storehouse of personifications! If anything, pick up this book to bask in the beauty of every word coming alive! A story worth a savour!

It arrived in a very good condition. I love the fact that it's floppy not stiff because god we all know how bad stiff books are... Also the cover is so pretty<3😭 I'm in love!!! Praying I love the story as much as I loved the cover🦋💘

About the book: Although I have not read the book yet, I can already tell that this is going to be in my Top 5 this year. It is a story about a woman who makes a bargain with a mysterious god. She is given immortality, but in return, everyone she ever meets is bound to forget her. Later on she meets a guy who remembers her and the story continues from there.Product Quality: Recently I've been purchasing quite a few books from Amazon and I can tell that my experience has not been very great with most of the sellers. I was lucky to find this book in a good condition. There's a crease on the front cover other than that the book is in great condition. It came in a bubble wrap which was very much appreciated. The print and page quality is quite commendable.I have given this a 4 star just because of the crease on the cover, the story of the book itself is a 5 star.
