graceburke 's review for:

The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
4.0

"You see, doing one thing differently is very often the same as doing everything differently." I bought this book because of its cover, but like the midnight library, I was moved by and in awe of what was inside. The feeling of regret is real and Haig doesn't invalidate that, but he does question what it's all for. As Nora discovers love, life, and herself, you will be forced to go on that journey with her and walk away realizing something about the way you live your life and the urge to change it in some way. Haig's personal love for Nora that bleeds through the pages is contagious and she will become one of your favorite characters ever. The novel is both incredibly satisfying, while also leaving you wanting a little bit more.
