the best thing about the ending of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is that her ending, not yet reached, is entirely dependent on the truth. if Luc does not love her, she will have “won”. she will be free. if he does love her… she’s loved! their relationship is the teensiest bit less toxic, and they can enjoy one another forevermore. i love it.

i feel like people completely misunderstand addie. like no, she didn't fight in a war or do something so drastically incredible with her life, she spent her time trying to leave a mark on the world - but isn't that what so many of us long to do? writing "___ was here" in concrete, posting things on social media, creating businesses that will hopefully out-live us. people seem to limit her to the bland storyline and 'pick-me-ism', and that's a valid opinion, but i disagree. life itself is not going to always be exciting. what addie does is continue to live, not just survive, ignoring the hollowness that could just as easily swallow her up. she romanticises her life, that is true, but what is wrong with that? don't we all sometimes? she is making the best of the bad cards she got dealt. she can still appreciate the art in the world, she can still enjoy the sunshine and good food and lovely music. she did not let bitterness suffocate her; she made a life out of it

y'all don't know Addie LaRue and Luc like I do and it shows

Just bought sticky tabs to annotate and go on a deeper read into wings of starlight because ive already forgotten a lot of the plot. Im so excited to read the physical book it just hits different I remember opening my copy of the invisable life of addie larue and seeing tear stains TT
