Rating: ★★★★★ TL;DR: Not my favorite from Schwab but an awesome read none-the-less! Summary: This is a story about life— how it ends, and how it starts. The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is one of my favorite reads and so I was very excited to read this new novel from Schwab. It didn't disappoint, but didn't inspire the same feelings that Addie did.

Rating: ★★★★★ TL;DR: This is a truly original story that is also incredibly moving, well worth the read.
