Easy read

really enjoyed this book. It was an easy read, which was exactly what I needed. There were some powerful moments and several passages I highlighted along the way. At times, I wished the message had been delivered with a bit more subtlety; it might have landed more deeply if it hadn’t worked quite so hard to make its point. Still, I found it engaging and hard to put down. It gave me some meaningful perspective on regret and the importance of letting it go.

In Matt’s books are always an important lessons to be remembered. He has always been the author that made me feel that he really understands depression and that’s a comfort.

At times the chapters felt redundant. The existential angle wasn’t fully realized. I was only moderately rooting for the main character. The story was okay. That’s about all I can say for it. It is an easy read and worth flipping the pages, but in the end it’ll be lost on the bookshelf and you won’t think much about it again.

Reads more like a YA imo. And maybe like a first novel. At 182 pages it basically explores one layer of what could be a very complex and fascinating ride. To be what it wishes it was he’d have to take the (Christmas carol) concept and really blow it up. Nothing new here but a change of venue.

In the beginning I didn’t quite get the concept. By the end I I was beyond enchanted.

How do we live a life? And what might happen if we took a different path? These are the questions The Midnight Library attempts to answer. Engaging, humorous, and often uplifting, this is a magical story with great characters.

A tale for the ages - have no regrets!

This book will lift anyone’s mood.

Just finished The Midnight Library by Matt Haig, and it left me deeply reflective. It explores the multiverse of “what ifs” with emotional and philosophical depth, resonating with anyone who’s ever questioned their life choices. The idea of exploring alternate versions of oneself is both haunting and beautiful. A beautifully written reminder that even our regrets can lead to meaning.
