| The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue / int_106f1a77 | comment |
A Form You Are Comfortable With: Luc takes the appearance of Addie's fantastic "stranger" in order to talk with her, but his real form appears to be an indescribable array of shadows. | |

Does This Remind You of Anything?: Luc's relationship to Addie increasingly resembles an abusive romantic partner rather than a dark god and their mortal plaything. | |

Unreliable Narrator | |
| The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue / int_1869b4b1 | comment |
Unreliable Narrator: The reader is only told most of our information about Henry's family dynamics and relationships from Henry's point of view, which is clearly distorted by severe depression. Though it's clear Henry isn't making it all up, it's somewhat open to interpretation just how bad, or not, his family life really is. The reader is only told how deals work and what can or can't be done with them by Luc, who isn't exactly trustworthy about it. Notably, he claims he cannot simply alter up a deal once agreed, but later states he can "bend" the rules of an agreement. | |

Cursed with Awesome | |
| The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue / int_309b8806 | comment |
Cursed with Awesome: Sure, she's effectively a ghost, but Addie's deal does have upsides. Addie can effectively go anywhere and do anything she wants. She spends three hundred years touring the world and witnessing great events. Because everyone forgets interactions with her, she can infinitely re-try any social interaction until she gets it right. Addie learns to manipulate people quite well, not by being a master manipulator, but by being able to try over and over again, gaining knowledge each time. It's very easy to be a thief when nobody remembers who you are. | |

Required Secondary Powers | |
| The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue / int_5b6e57e | comment |
Required Secondary Powers: A big part of Addie's curse is a lack of these. She is immortal and has no need to eat, but will still feel painful hunger pangs if she doesn't. She can't be physically harmed, but any injury still hurts just as much. She can walk endlessly without exhaustion, but her feet still hurt after long enough. She even succumbs to hypothermia! Her perfect memory lacks the requisite ability to efficiently sort through and index memories, which are so perfectly remembered as to be re-experienced later. By the 2010s, Addie has some tendency to get lost in memories and zone out. | |

Pragmatic Villainy: Luc is perfectly happy to offer his deals to people who are inebriated, mentally ill, or on drugs. Luc founds a series of dim, dark speakeasies across the 1920s. Why? Because it's an excellent place to find emotionally-vulnerable people in a place to make a bad choice. | |

| The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue / int_671681af | comment |
Jackass Genie: Luc claims to be simply fulfilling their wish, but in both Addie and Henry's cases it's clear he goes well beyond what is strictly necessary to do so. For instance, he also adds an inability for Addie to explain her circumstances or say her name, and makes sure Henry always sees when others' perception of him is altered. Luc even argues that the wording of Addie's wish merely incentivizes him to make it miserable. | |

| The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue / int_75bbe725 | comment |
Double Standard: Rape, Sci-Fi: The book starts in the aftermath Addie having sex with a guy, knowing full well that he would not remember their encounter. He has no knowledge of consenting, and there is no evidence that Addie told him he would forget her before he made the choice. Plus, Addie apparently has done this often, having her way with others without them ever remembering that they consented. | |

Like Brother and Sister: Also Henry and Bea. Notably, after Henry is cursed to be "enough" in the eyes of everyone else, Bea is not attracted to him like almost all women are (apparently even curses can't get around Incompatible Orientation). She sees him as an ideal friend, and this is so close to normal Henry spends months unable to figure out how Bea has actually changed at all. | |

Arranged Marriage: Addie is forced into marrying someone she doesn't really love. Running away from it starts the plot. | |

Gay Paree | |
| The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue / int_85832a47 | comment |
Gay Paree: Much of the 1700s end of the plot takes place in Paris, which is romanticized heavily until Addie actually gets there and learns what early-modern cities were really like. | |

Didn't Think This Through | |
| The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue / int_8d0785d5 | comment |
Didn't Think This Through: Addie takes a while to learn the ropes of her curse, learning several lessons the hard way. Renting a room at an inn doesn't work very well when the innkeep immediately forgets who you are, that you rented the room, and that you paid. Waking up in the arms of a lover is a lot less romantic when they don't know who you are and assume they had too much to drink the night before. Being forgotten isn't the same as being invisible: Addie still must rely on stealth when stealing, for example, although she can at least attempt to run away until she's out of sight. Addie really, *really* should have considered that with both herself and Henry having made deals with Luc, Luc was probably not ignorant of their having found one another. Especially since Luc has been watching her for three hundred years. Oddly enough, Addie also has this problem in reverse - after three hundred years of not needing to worry about her reputation or relationship with other people, dealing with someone who actually does remember her is a challenge. | |

Questionable Consent | |
| The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue / int_9400b3b5 | comment |
Questionable Consent: Both Addie and Henry really bring up the question of people they sleep with are really consenting due to the effect's of their respective curses. In Addie's case, people forget her as soon as their back is turned or if they fall asleep, so they have no memory of meeting this girl or agreeing to have sex with her. For Henry, people perception of him is altered to "be enough" for them, so it's almost like a magical version of catfishing. | |

Foreshadowing | |
| The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Addie believes herself to be a "victim" of Henry's curse, but from Henry's perspective Addie never has the "frost" over her eyes denoting altered perception. It's not until much later that Luc admits he deliberately brought the two of them together. Addie's immunity to Henry's curse, and vice-versa, isn't a mistake on his part. Pay close attention to the time Henry's watch displays. It's counting down to his death, one "hour" a month. | |

Be Careful What You Wish For | |
| The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue / int_b06bbf4b | comment |
Be Careful What You Wish For: Both Addie and Henry's wishes pretty much immediately go disastrously wrong. Addie wishes for freedom from responsibility to other people and time to live her life. So she's made immortal and cursed to be immediately forgotten by everyone she meets, and unable to leave any mark on the world. This leaves her entirely unable to live a normal life, build relationships, own property, or find love. Henry wishes to live up to everybody's expectations and to be "enough" for people. Afterwards, everyone projects their desires and expectations onto him, leaving him unable to maintain any "real" relationships as everyone just sees what they want to see in him. In both cases, Luc simply points out he gave them exactly what they wished for, and it's not his fault if they don't like it. | |

The reader is only told how deals work and what can or can't be done with them by Luc, who isn't exactly trustworthy about it. Notably, he claims he cannot simply alter up a deal once agreed, but later states he can "bend" the rules of an agreement. | |

Didn't See That Coming: Addie steals a book from a bookstore, even having a confrontation with the employee there. She then goes to return it, for cash, not 24 hours later. Of course, after 300 years, she really didn't think that random single employee would happen to be the only person in the world who could remember who she is. | |

Laser-Guided Amnesia: Happens to literally everybody Addie meets. As soon as she's out of their sight, even just a briefly-closed door, they forget anything having to do with her.
