🌙 April Pick: The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab

For our very first single-book month, I wanted to choose something unforgettable—something that reflects the essence of what the STEMinist Book Club is really about: resilience, identity, legacy, and a woman’s unbreakable spirit.

The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is a story that lingers. It's about a woman who dares to make a deal for freedom—and ends up cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets. But she doesn’t fade. She doesn’t give up. Instead, she finds her power in being unseen. She leaves her mark not with fame or recognition, but with courage, creativity, and quiet rebellion.

This book explores so many things we talk about in this club:

✨ What does it mean to live fully and freely?

✨ How do we find our voice when the world refuses to see us?

✨ How do women, across time, leave their mark—sometimes in ways no one expects?

And yes—it’s fantasy. But it’s also deeply philosophical, beautifully written, and emotionally resonant in a way that stays with you long after the last page.

It’s a book about being a woman who refuses to disappear.

Addie might not be a woman in STEM, but she’s a woman of strength, of persistence, of reinvention—and I think we could all use a little of her magic this month.
