Book Smart Kate

Addie LaRue makes a Faustian bargain resulting in her being unable to die but forgotten by everyone she meets. You travel with Addie across the centuries as she navigates the changing world. Addie’s journey through time takes a dramatic turn when a bookshop owner remembers her.

I thought about this book by VE Schwab for weeks after I finished it because it was so compelling. Interestingly, it is one of the few books I had to pause reading because I liked it so much, and I was worried about what would happen to the characters. It makes you think about what it means to live a life and how much of our happiness comes from our ability to leave our mark on people and places.
