The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

 Fiction by V. E. Schwab

This story has an interesting premise. What if you had immortality and eternal youth BUT —there’s always a but— you could never form a relationship with another human being? How long could a person live like that?

Addie LaRue has been this way for over three hundred years. She remains healthy beautiful 23-year-old, but no one can ever recognize or remember her. As soon as her conversation with another person ends, they have forgotten her. She cannot even keep possessions or a home; everything slips away. How can this have happened? How can Addie keep living with it?

The book is about the answers to all of those questions. It’s really good!! I enjoy a good “what if this crazy impossible thing” story when the author really works out the details. I recommend it!
