This review will contain minor spoilers for this book. Henry is dealing with his own issues, but he’s quickly enamored with Addie. In 2014 New York City, Addie’s lived three hundred years alone, stealing and hustling, until one day she tries to steal a book and the bookseller remembers her. Addie tells him she wants to be free, and he grants her her wish with one caveat: she cannot say her name and people will forget about her once she is out of eyesight. In 1714 France, Adeline LaRue wants to live a life that’s better than the one she’s expected to have she wants it so desperately that she makes a deal with an old god, a darkness whom she’s fantasized about for years. Much like the eponymous protagonist’s life, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is mostly unremarkable and honestly forgettable. Still, I grew enamored with the premise of this novel and thought I would like it more. Honestly, I requested this book on a whim even though I haven’t read one of this author’s books since 2017 and have since realized that if I were to read them again, I wouldn’t enjoy them as much.
