The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is a genre-defying tour de force from New York Times bestselling author V. E. Schwab, in the style of The Time Traveler's Wife and Life After Life.

No One Will Remember Your Life. You'll Never Forget This Story.

In a desperate act of desperation, a young woman makes a Faustian pact to live forever, only to be forgotten by everyone she meets.

As a young woman discovers how far she will go to leave her mark on the world, Addie LaRue embarks on a magnificent voyage that will take her across eras and continents, across history and art.

But all that changes when Addie runs across a young man in a hidden bookstore after nearly 300 years, and he knows her name.

Reviews: The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

"As I evaluated my relationships and innate sense of self, my conceptions of love and anguish and need, I was caught in the feeling, the demanded pound of flesh."―Historical Novel Society

"As it goes back and forth through time, Schwab's wonderful epic novel merges fantasy and history, romance and art. Addie, one of the author's most morally complex and compelling figures, embarks on big and mundane experiences as she travels through the centuries in the form of a ghost." ―Bookmarks Magazine

"One of the most mournful and bittersweetly beautiful novels I've ever read...a mature, reflective love tale and a serious analysis of what it means to live a life well-lived," says the author.―Manhattan Mercury News (Kansas)

"A work of art that has taken many years to complete, but the wait was well worth it...a book that will linger with you long after you have finished reading the last word."―Seventeen Magazine

"A gender-flipped Faust, as well as a tragic love story that lingers."―New York Journal of Books

"The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is the perfect book for the fantasy lover in your life!" "A beautiful tale of star-crossed love, magic, and a dark Faustian Bargain makes The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue the perfect book for the fantasy lover in your life!"―The Mary Sue

"The Invisible Life of Addie Larue is a poetic and heartbreaking novel for fans of time travel novels, historical fiction, and fantasy."―The Register-Herald

"[Schwab] flexes her lovely prose and sets the tone for an outstanding story."―SyFy Wire

"A professional triumph... Her pulsing, lyric prose, her morally nuanced, mesmerizing characters, and her one-of-a-kind brand of magic are all here, all woven into a completely new premise that will undoubtedly become a long-lasting favorite... Addie defies genre, combining romance and history, fantasy and the monstrous, cresting over time, centered on a youthful (and also, technically, very old) woman with both less and more agency than anybody alive. ... romantic, ambitious, and a defiantly, deliberately hopeful person. It examines what art is while yet being epic and intimate at the same time... Schwab is just one of the most accomplished authors in her field, and she deserves to be recognized for her work... This book's achievement is, to put it mildly, awe-inspiring."―Tor.com

"I sat back in awe when I completed Addie LaRue for the first time. Schwab's words had cast a spell on me, leaving me speechless... elegant and lovely... As you read, Addie LaRue makes you feel something, and what is the point of reading if not to feel something?"―The Nerd Daily

"A beautiful, genre-defying epic about a woman battling to survive in a world that denies her existence."―Shelf Awareness for Readers

"Expansive and tragic in equal measure...both heartbreaking and hopeful. I stayed up late reading the last hundred pages, gasping and sobbing. It's a lovely book to read."―25 Must-Read New Fantasy Books, according to Book Riot

"This evocative and witty story will leave you smiling and wanting for more extraordinary moments in everyday life."―CNN, October's Best Books

"There is no special art to literary fiction that does not exist in the fiction of other genres, and V. E. Schwab's latest novel The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue isn't just an excellent book for its genre; it's an amazing book in general...a stunning, absorbing story... Schwab is an inclusive, ambitious, and exacting writer who holds both her characters and her readers accountable... This book doesn't mix genres or even cross them.”―Chicago Review of Books

"One of the most engrossing, addictive, and compelling novels I've read in a long time."―Washington Post

"Schwab's prose is warm and powerful, and the historical sections frequently make you feel like you're reading by candlelight... The book is a subtle but eloquent statement on the elimination of women from history; you never get the impression that Addie LaRue is a metaphor. I rooted for her throughout because she is a woman struggling to be noticed while bearing witness to her own life.”―New York Times Book Review

"Schwab deftly captures what it's like to be alone for so long that being noticed is startling and unsettling... Addie is a fascinating and independent heroine who, despite the circumstances, tries to make her mark."―USA Today

“Addie is unlike anything else Schwab has written before; it is enormous but intimate, expansive yet not vast... If Addie teaches us anything, it's that the consequences of our actions and interactions can be far-reaching and long-lasting. We construct our constellations, much like the seven freckles on Addie's face, and while we go through these dark days, I feel brighter for having joined Addie to mine.”―Slate

"The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue Faust for Romantic Bisexual Goths is a little cheeky, but it's not inaccurate... I, for one, will remember her fondly."―NPR

"A wonderful, meditative novel with a heartfelt finale."―Buzzfeed, Best Fall Fantasy 2020

"It's dark and seductive yet sweet and sorrowful, and it's sweeping in scope yet delightfully intimate."―Black Sun author Rebecca Roanhorse, Hugo, and Nebula Award winner

"The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is one of those books that comes along once in a lifetime." Daring, joyful defiance of time, fate, and even death itself, as well as a striking reminder that the only magic powerful enough to conquer it all is love.”―The Book of M's author, Peng Shepherd

"Addie Larue is a book that sits ideally in the middle of darkness and light, myth and truth. "Ironically, [this novel] is unforgettable."―Alix E. Harrow, the author of The Ten Thousand Doors of January, is a Hugo Award winner.

"Victoria Schwab whisks you away on a dizzying kaleidoscope journey through decades of love, sorrow, art, and conflict, dazzling your senses with hundreds of tiny magical moments along the way." The Invisible Life of Addie Larue will fascinate readers as much as its heroine's Faustian pact; you'll find yourself suffering from sadness and happily crowing at the delectable, devilish genius in-store in short succession."―Naomi Novik is the author of the Nebula and Locus Award-winning novel Spinning Silver.

"Engrossed me to the point where I forgot about the actual world."―The Washington Post's Jodie Picoult
