This week Grace and Megan discuss the first 160-pages of The Invisible Life of Addie Larue. Our conversation dives into the essence of our MC, stubborn, willful, and passionate Addie. We also discuss Henry, Luc, Estele, and what it would be like to live three-hundred-years with little to no human connection.
