The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue Audiobook Review

A woman makes a bargain for freedom and is cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets.

A little more about the listen

Addie LaRue and Nora Seed are both haunted by the feeling that life has passed them by, but Addie’s story moves through centuries rather than alternate shelves of one night. It is romantic, atmospheric, and interested in the traces a person leaves behind.

The listening experience

Julia Whelan gives Addie an intimate, steady voice that suits a story built from memory, longing, and time.

Best for

Listeners who want lyrical fantasy, immortality, and a more romantic version of the life-question premise.

The honest note

The book is atmospheric and expansive, with long reflective passages between its sharper turns.

Worth the credit?

Worth considering for listeners who want lyrical fantasy, immortality, and a more romantic version of the life-question premise. The honest note is the deciding reservation to weigh before spending a credit: The book is atmospheric and expansive, with long reflective passages between its sharper turns.
