👥 Good for people who enjoy: - themes of love & desire, possession, freedom, loneliness, and meaning of life - slow to mid-paced story with atmospheric prose - character-driven stories 🔖 Premise In 17th century France, Addie LaRue makes a desperate pact with the God of Darkness to escape an arranged marriage. She gains complete freedom as wished, along with immortality, but at a cruel cost: everyone she meets would forget her the moment she leaves their sight. 👍🏻 Liked ✨The Premise & “Invisible” Life - imaginative details about how Addie survives and navigates centuries as someone who lives in a world that constantly resets around her ✨ Themes - universal human longings: to be loved, desired, remembered and truly seen - interestingly revealed through bargains with devil, freedom vs being forgotten / loved vs never being truly seen - lets you reflect on your own personal takes on the definition of love ✨ Lyrical Writing & Atmosphere - beautiful, atmospheric prose with magical realism - dreamy, melancholic vibes 👎🏻 Disliked ✨ Ending Dynamic with the God of Darkness - understand that the author wanted to explore love vs possession and showcase Addie’s wit, but the final interactions between Addie and the god felt too childish for an eternal being
