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.

Don’t pray to the gods after dark, seems like a simple rule that a person could follow as to not mess up their life.

Slow to start but worth the wait. Much better than I originally expected.

This is now my number one book of the year. I was deeply touched, a little heartbroken, and will not soon forget it. Melancholic is the best word I can think of to describe how I felt upon finishing and love it even more for it. Schwab created a beautiful fictional soul that every reader could see their own soul mirrored in. Just…WOW! Standing ovation! 7 STARS! (See what I did there?
