Praise forThe Invisible Life of Addie Larue:

"For someone damned to be forgettable, Addie LaRue is a most delightfully unforgettable character, and her story is the most joyous evocation of unlikely immortality."

-Neil Gaiman, author of American Gods and winner of multiple Nebula, Hugo, and Locus Award.

"Addie Larue is a book perfectly suspended between darkness and light, myth and reality. "Addie Larue is a book perfectly suspended between darkness and light, myth and reality. [This novel] is-ironically-unforgettable." - Hugo Award winner Alix E. Harrow, author of The Ten Thousand Doors of January

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is the kind of book you encounter only eleven in a lifetime. . . . A defiant, joyous rebellion against time, fate, and even death itself-and a powerful reminder that the only magic great enough to conquer all of it is love." A defiant, joyous rebellion against time, fate, and even death itself-and a powerful reminder that the only magic great enough to conquer all of it is love." -Peng Shepherd, author of The Book of M

"A knockout." –Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

"Epic." –Library Journal, Starred Review

"Deeply romantic, impossibly detailed." –Booklist, Starred Review

"Schwab's page-turner is an achingly poignant romantic fantasy about the desperate desire to make one's mark on the world." -Oprah.com.

"It's a bit cheeky to call The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue Faust for romantic bisexual goths, but it's not wrong... I for one will most certainly remember her." -NPR

"Addie is unlike anything Schwab has written before-epic yet intimate, sweeping but not sprawling... If Addie shows anything, it's that the impact of our actions and interactions can be vaster and longer-lasting than we can predict. Much like the seven freckles that sprinkle Addie's face, we create our own constellations, and as we live through these darkened days, I feel brighter for having added Addie to mine." -Slate

"Schwab beautifully explore what it means to be alone for so long that it's jarring and terrifying once you are finally seen... Addie is an independent and fascinating character who manages to make her mark in spite of the odds." USA Today

In a moment of despair, a young woman makes a faustian deal to live forever, and is cursed for being forgotten by everyone she knows. Thus begins the extraordinary life of Addie LaRue, and a dazzling adventure that will unfold across centuries and continents, through history and art, as a young woman learns how far she will go to make her mark on the world. But everything changes when, after almost 300 years, Addie meets a young man in a hidden bookstore and he remembers his name.
