The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

July 14, 2021 by Joy

“The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue” was a terrific book. Yes, there were times where I thought it got wordy and found myself skimming, but I never thought about actually putting it down. The very thought is shocking! In fact, I was at a family reunion when I started reading this and found myself sneaking in a chapter or two whenever possible. Looking back at my previous reviews, I seem to have fallen into an unplanned pattern of reading whimsical, fantasy-type books this summer; some have been good, some not-so-good, but this is one of the best so far! Ok, except for maybe “Midnight Library,” but it would be hard to top that one. Anyway, based on the Goodreads ratings for “Addie,” I’m not the only one who liked the book. So far, this book has almost 300,000 ratings with a solid 4.28 stars. All well-deserved in my opinion! Addie’s story begins in 1714. As a young woman of 23, she is being forced to marry but all she really wants is to see the world. So she makes a deal with the god of darkness…she is given immortality, but like any deal-with-the-devil, there are some caveats she doesn’t know about until it’s too late. This premise sets off Addie’s 300-year journey from 1714 until 2014. And while she does meet some historical figures along the way, this book is actually about what lengths someone is willing to go to in order to live their life to the fullest. Sometimes funny, often heartbreaking, Addie is a great character, and unlike many novels, I thought the ending was perfect. This was a great read and one I will come back to in the future! I highly recommend it.
