The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is my 50th book for this year!! I may sneak in one more before the new year, but I sort of want to leave it here because 50 is a great number and this was a great book! E read it a while ago and recommended it to me, and I’m so glad he did.
In mid 1700s France, Adeline LaRue makes a deal with the devil. She wants to experience more of life and in exchange for her soul she is able to live as long as she wants…but there is a catch. She is unable to leave a mark in the world. People will interact with her, but once she leaves their sight she is forgotten. Until one day, nearly 300 years later….someone remembers her.
This is a really sweet story about love and loss and what makes life worth living. Highly recommend! (And, for those following at home, this fits for prompt 35 for the Popsugar reading challenge - a book centering LGBTQ characters that is not about coming out.)
