The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
2.0
relaxing slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Whilst the concept of the book is a great idea in theory, I felt that the overall story just fell slightly flat for me. There were some areas that felt over explored to the point it became quite boring and others that felt they could of been far more interesting.

Overall whilst I understand the message of it I found myself finding some of the lives explored quite full and monotonous and trying to rush to the end of the chapter to move onto something more thrilling. 

Sadly, just not quite the gripping story I’d hoped for.
