The invisible life of Addie LaRue is probably my no 1 read this year, it is so well written and the story on its own is so fascinating, I would have loved to read even more of Addies Story and what happens next

This is now my favorite book of all time! Thank you for writing it! It’s so beautifully written! It was painful and happy, it was dark and brilliant, it was slow and bullet train fast! And I loved every second of it! 
A must read!
