Except Addie, who loves him, but not quite in the same way. We’re given to understand that he had a rough early adulthood, that he enjoys his work at a bookshop and that he’s handsome, though not so handsome as to explain why everyone around him seems to be in love with him. It’s been 300 years, and the god is getting impatient. The thing is, despite the tricks the god continues to play on her, she isn’t done with it yet. She can remain free and unencumbered-a boon, considering she’s facing an arranged marriage-so long as she promises this god her soul when she’s done with it. There is Addie, born Adeline LaRue in the 17 th century or so, who has made a deal with a god of darkness. A book like this one begs to be ripped apart, to be broken down into its component parts and examined carefully. Let that be an indication of how much this book wrecked me. It took me a day to read The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue and three days to process it.
