Gave it five stars. The Midnight Library is the kind of book I'll keep coming back to and noticing new things in.
Quick read with a big heart. Mrs. Elm is the librarian we all need in our lives.
Perfect book club pick. Gave us so much to discuss about regret, choices, and what makes a good life.
Made me cry. The message that the root life has its own beauty is something everyone needs to hear.
Haig has a gift for making philosophy feel like a warm hug. Not every book needs to be complex to be profound.
Heartwarming and well-paced. Some of the alternate lives felt a bit surface-level but the message resonates.
Read this during a tough time and it was exactly what I needed. Haig writes about mental health with such empathy.
A bit too neat and tidy for my taste. The life lessons feel spoon-fed at times. Still enjoyable.
The Midnight Library earned its place in the canon. A few sections felt longer than they needed to be, but the whole holds together beautifully.
What I really love about Matt Haig, is the small chapters in his books. They are perfect for subway reading.
