Reviews with content warning for Toxic relationship - The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

What an incredible book. I’m not always into this kind of mystic shit, but it was an amazing read. The twists and turns kept it fresh, and the writing style was also really nice. It was long, sure, but that’s not necessarily bad! In this case it didn’t matter so much. It was nice to read by the riverside, feet in the water, sun setting and everything. I really enjoyed all the motifs in the boom, like the seven freckles, the ring, the blue flowers, but also the part about being a woman in the rennaissance up until the 1970s. It was interesting to read about the practical things women faced during that time (even though we all know how fucking shit it was to not be a man during that time, and still is to a lesser extent now).

It was also really nice to see that there was so much gay in this book?? It was just nice to have some pansexual representation💅🏼
Especially Henry’s thoughts about loving someone first before considering their gender made me🥹

Anyway, nice book, read it👍🏼
And thank you Annebelle for giving this to me for my birthday over a year ago, I’m sorry I only read it now😭

This is one of my favorite authors, so I knew I’d enjoy this book. I will say I found the plot dragging here and there, and a lot of it was predictable for me. But overall I enjoyed Addie’s life and reflecting on just what it means to live.

I literally LOVED this book. It's so mysterious and dark but also inspiring and reflecting.
I literally finished this one at night because I couldn't stop reading!! I think that it leaves the message that even if something ends it remains beautiful and sometimes it's beatiful because it ended.
My favourite character is definitely Luc Who Is the perfect morally grey character...
I cried in the end and I'm not sure if I finished the book or the book finished me.
This one's absolutely a must-read!!!
