Tabitha Masters Character Analysis in The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

Tabitha is Henry’s ex-girlfriend. He proposed to her, and she said no, seemingly because Henry was too unsure of who he wanted to be or what he wanted out of life. Henry takes the breakup badly. To make matters worse, it’s immediately clear to him that his close friends, Bea and Robbie, anticipated the breakup, apparently finding Tabitha’s dissatisfaction with Henry’s gloomy, searching personality warranted, or at least understandable. After Henry accepts his deal with Luc, he runs into Tabitha at a café and finds that Luc’s enchantment has made her, like everyone else, suddenly want to be with him. But by this time, Henry knows that his deal with Luc is really a curse, and nobody’s affection for him is real, so Tabitha’s renewed feelings only make him sad.
