"For someone damned to be forgettable, Addie LaRue is a most delightfully unforgettable character, and her story is the most joyous evocation of unlikely immortality." Show
An new signed limited edition, featuring new artwork selected by V.E. Schwab, illustrated plate section and exclusive jacket. The definitive edition of this genre-defying tour de force. When Addie La Rue makes a pact with the devil, she trades her soul for immortality. But there's always a price - the devil takes away her place in the world, cursing her to be forgotten by everyone. Addie flees her tiny home town in 18th-Century France, beginning a journey that takes her across the world, learning to live a life where no one remembers her and everything she owns is lost and broken. Existing only as a muse for artists throughout history, she learns to fall in love anew every single day. Her only companion on this journey is her dark devil with hypnotic green eyes, who visits her each year on the anniversary of their deal. Alone in the world, Addie has no choice but to confront him, to understand him, maybe to beat him. Until one day, in a second hand bookshop in Manhattan, Addie meets someone who remembers her. Suddenly thrust back into a real, normal life, Addie realises she can't escape her fate forever. Addie LaRue: Special Editions RoundupSpecial Editions RoundupsSometimes publishers are so sure a book is going to be a hit that they go all out in producing multiple fancy editions of the same title. The edition comparison roundups on this site compare all the different editions that are out there for titles with particular buzz to help you in your collecting journey. Collector's NotesThe Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is a standalone fantasy/magical realism novel by V. E. (Victoria) Schwab. Two 2021 Special Collector’s Editions (also called the ‘Autumn’ edition in the UK) are being released on 5 October 2021, to celebrate the first anniversary of the book’s publication (the cynical reader might think that starting to release ‘anniversary’ editions after only one year is a bit of a publisher cash grab, but then again, no-one has to buy them…) The collector’s editions are different in the US and the UK. US cover designs are very heavily typographic and include of Addie’s star constellation against a plain background. UK designs have the constellation more subtly included as gold circles, and also includes a forget-me-not floral motif. Both of the collector’s editions include a new cover design (well, a design with a new color scheme at least), six new pieces of fan art to illustrate Addie’s story, and a gold ribbon bookmark. The US edition also includes a ‘hidden cover‘ design stamped and debossed under the dust jacket, along with an exclusive note from the author. Barnes & Noble have an exclusive edition with an alternate cover. The UK edition also includes new endpapers, two coloured text (black and blue), and gorgeous silver sprayed page edges featuring silver stencilled forget-me-not flowers.
Note that all UK first printings of the collector’s edition will be signed, so do jump on a preorder if you’re planning to get a copy.

Can a 12 year old read The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue?Fantasy Book Club: “The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue” (ages 12–adult)
Is The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue LGBT?The book's queer representation is also a plus. Although the main romance is between a man and a woman, both of the main characters have had relationships with people of the same sex. This isn't addressed in a way that feels tokenized but normalizes queerness in opposite-sex couples.
How many copies did Addie LaRue sell?After the book was published, it remained on the New York Times bestseller list for 43 weeks and sold more than 1 million copies in its first year.
