#160 - The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab (with Abigail of The Manic Pixie Weirdo)

2 Cents Critic

Tune in as Pride Month stays strong on 2CC! For the second episode of June, Abigail (The Manic Pixie Weirdo) collaborates with Arthur for a breakdown of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, the 2020 novel by V.E. Schwab that embarks on a centuries-wide journey sprouting out of a Faustian bargain for immortality, albeit the sort where nobody is able to remember you. Addie’s central relationships with Henry and Luc, the ins and outs of how her immortality operates in this world, and worries about the upcoming film adaptation comprise a few of the subjects that the hosts cover on this episode.

TW: death, toxic relationship, mental illness, depression, suicide attempt (both present on the page and discussion of it in the past), suicidal ideation, alcoholism, drug use, drug abuse, misogyny, sexual content, sex work, starvation, war, and minor inclusion of fire

Spoilers start at 13:40
