About this listen
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.

Okay but a bit depressing
The story is a dry, a bit slow and slightly depressing. It’s
a solid story, well written but I’m debating if I want to finish listening (I’m 8 hours in).
The narration is pretty good except for the French accent that occasionally drifts into Germanic.

Woven to perfection
This story is long but from start to finish I was gripped. Not my usual genre, but I loved every minute twist and turn. I'll definitely listen again.

Love, love, love this book, simply gorgeous
What can I say about this book? Let me start with it is beautiful. I loved every minute of it. I will be looking out for more work from V.E. Schwab. Unfortunately, I can't find any at the moment. Not on Audible at any rate.
Julia Whelan did a fantastic job with the narration.
I don't usually re-read (re-listen) to books as I usually feel I know the story and don't need to go over it again, however, this was so precious that I will be revisiting it again and again.
You won't be disappointed if you buy this book.

Good listen
Enjoyed this book, felt a little bit familiar in places as it reminded me in part of other stories but overall I liked the twists and turns, the narration and would recommend this book to others.
