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.

  • What would it be like to live forever

    Nikki L. - 1 year 1 month ago

    I had seen this book everywhere and I finally decided to give it a shot. I will say I enjoyed the book but it does not live up to the hype. I love all the art and history references. Also I love thinking about would I trade my soul to live forever but no one would ever remember me?

  • A life no one will remember. A Story you will never forget

    Kaylee W. - 2 years 1 month ago

    Addie LaRue's story is not one that people will forget after reading this book. Cursed to live as a ghost in exchange for her soul, Addie brings the reader along on her journey through the underbelly of immunity. It dares us to ask ourselves the question: what would you give in exchange for freedom?

  • Meh

    Kelley C. - 4 years 9 months ago

    Wanted to love this book but it was overall just alright. The main character didn’t really care for her but liked the secondary character much better … if that’s the point (because no one is supposed to remember her) then amazing job by the author haha.

  • The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

    Gavin O. - 5 years ago

    The invisible life of Addie LaRue was very good at times however during some chapters I found myself bored. It may just be that I had very high hopes for this book but while it was very good it didn’t completely live up to my hopes 4.5 stars rounded down.

  • Has been quite a while since I’ve felt this way about a book

    Nicole B. - 5 years 1 month ago

    This book left an emptiness inside of me after finishing it. I felt connected to the characters and storyline, and was sad when it was over. I was engaged the entire time and couldn’t get enough of it. Highly recommend if you’re into these kinds of books! #SpringPicks
