Publisher's Summary
In the vein of The Time Traveler's Wife and Life After Life, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is New York Times best-selling author V. E. Schwab's genre-defying tour de force.
When Addie La Rue makes a pact with the devil, she trades her soul for immortality. But there's always a price - the devil takes away her place in the world, cursing her to be forgotten by everyone. Addie flees her tiny home town in 18th-century France, beginning a journey that takes her across the world, learning to live a life where no one remembers her and everything she owns is lost and broken. Existing only as a muse, she learns to fall in love anew every single day. Until one day, in a second-hand bookshop in Manhattan, Addie meets someone who remembers her. Suddenly thrust back into a real, normal life, Addie realises she can't escape her fate forever.

Revolutionary
This book has quickly become one of the most enchanting reads I have ever had the privilege of experiencing. The emotions that are portrayed in their purest sense make this a novel I will read over and over again.

Beautiful, Heartbreaking, Triumphant
I don’t have words for how incredible this book was. Definitely worth the hype! Having just finished it I’m left with an ache of emptiness that has a tinge of happiness to it... what a beautiful book.

Bear with the start but stay till the end.
Careful what you wish for and be aware of what you might sacrifice.
Fanciful tale of escape from current situation to what you THINK you most desire.

Great listen
Absolutely loved this book, didn’t want it to end. Not my usual story choice but kept me interested from beginning to end.
A quirky story that just resonated with me.
Julia Whelan’s narration was so soothing & easy to listen to.
You will either love it or hate it.
Five stars from all round. I know I will listen to it again.

Loved it even more the second time
I just finished listening to this book for the second time - with about a year between. I needed some familiar background noise and I accidentally (and very happily) got carried away with the story again. It is such a well paced, well written book. I’ve read many time travel/immortality themed books and this is highly original take on the theme. I absolutely recommend this book.
