the invisible life of addie larue by v.e. schwab
"a dreamer," scorns her mother. "a dreamer," mourns her father. "a dreamer," warns estele. still, it does not seem such a bad word.
so I read the invisible life of Addie Larue and have many thoughts. i loved the book. the one and only complaint i had with it was that addie's character was not as full fledged out and complex as it could have been. other than that, i loved the concept and the execution. i fell in love with Henry and Addie's tragedy. they could have been so much more. they deserved the world. and Henry Strauss if you were real, the length i would go to make you feel loved is unfathomable. now for the "villain", Luc, you hot, infuriating, nauseating man(?). i loved him as much as i hated him. he was an extremely twisted entity and it was difficult for me to form an opinion on him entirely. but i understand what he represents and what Schwab wanted to convey with the story of Adeline.
it's the essence of being a human, always wanting more that they can bite. just more of everything. love, passion, anger, happiness, acceptance, and most importantly time. being a woman i somewhat, in someway understand addie's desperation. but god did she made me want to rip my hair out. i understand what she did and why she had to do it. and i do sympathize with her on many levels. again, it's human nature to make mistakes. and addie did make a mistake but she made a beautiful, although no one was there to see it, life for herself. she sparked ideas and ideas do run far more deeper than remembrance and replication.
the character i related to the most though was Henry. i crave love the same way he did. i am as confused as he was. and i feel emotions in the same capacity as him. he loved and loved and loved and he thought that no one loved him. that he didn't have anything good going for him. he made me realise that there's people out in the world who love so abundantly and endlessly and never get it back. love is just give give and give for them.
that's all. for now atleast. the story was truly beautiful and it tells us so much about humans, our hunger and our desperation.
I just finished The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab and all I could think about was "why does this feel like a darklina AU?" Anyway, I loved it. Beautiful. Would 100% read a novella about Luc and Addie playing cat and mouse for centuries.
reblog and put in the tags the last book you read, the book you’re currently reading and the next book on your list
I made some fan art in anticipation of Victoria Schwab’s upcoming book! It's unreleased, so I did my best with what I know so far. Unless @torbooks or someone would be willing to slip me an ARC...ha-ha, just kidding...unless??
I finished!!!! I found it SLOW for at least 250 pages but then i really liked it!!! The ending was beautiful and that made me give it a 4 stars. Such a pretty and timeless story xx Henry got a second chance because of her and she got to finally live thanks to him. That has me :')

V.E Schwab writes such dynamic and complex characters that are so unforgettable. Like they have so much range and spice to them,, they're just *chef's kiss*
I often find myself thinking about the gay little family in Vicious and the nerdy little romantics in Addie Larue and the bisexual Slytherpuffs in Shades of Magic. I wish I could give Kell, Lila, Addie, Henry, Victor, Syd, Mitch, Eli and Rhy a little forehead kiss and protect them.
