A Life No One Will Remember. A Story You Will Never Forget.

France, 1714: in a moment of desperation, a young woman makes a Faustian bargain to live forever--and is cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets.

Thus begins the extraordinary life of Addie LaRue, and a dazzling adventure that will play out across centuries and continents, across history and art, as a young woman learns how far she will go to leave her mark on the world.

But everything changes when, after nearly 300 years, Addie stumbles across a young man in a hidden bookstore and he remembers her name.

Also by V. E. Schwab

I loved this book! Read it for a book club and for the first time in a while it was one I loved. The characters were well defined, the story kept me wanting more. Don’t hesitate to read this one.

Great story. Saddening to live life the way she had. But kind of disappointed at the ending

Giving it a 1 because I can’t give a 0. She literally has immortality and you’d think she would like to see the world and shit but no, she just sees a single elephant and goes to French prison and all she thinks and talks about is her narcissistic need to leave her mark on the world and sleep with as many men as she can. Huge let down

I loved this book! It's one I have read multiple times and I love the audiobook. One I recommend often.

I’m a blubbering mess as the moment, but this truly is one of the most remarkable novels I have ever read. These characters are so, so special - it is difficult to shake the attachment you get to Addie and Henry within these pages. I’m quite honestly stunned by this read, and I will be thinking about these characters for a very long time.

I think we finally read the best book yet for the book club y’all
