Schwab’s “The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue.” While not an original Taylor phrase, I couldn’t help but think of that line from the chronically underrated “Lover” album while listening to V.E. Taylor Swift, “ Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince” You play stupid games/ you win stupid prizes

Why I Read It: It was all #Bookstagram could talk about in late-2020. Recommended For: Fans of light fantasy and mythology. Reality: A tad overcooked, and sometimes repetitive, but it succeeds in bringing forward uncomfortable feelings about the main characters while still delivering a satisfying ending. For the next 300 years she must contend with the loneliness of not being remembered, until the day she walks into a used bookshop in New York City…Įxpectation: A hot and heavy romantic fantasy about living without consequence that will appeal to non-genre fans. 100-Word (or Less) Synopsis: In a moment of desperation Addie LaRue makes a deal with the devil.
