The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
4.0

4.5 stars

Do you ever read a book and have nothing to say, but it still doesn't feel like a five star book? I definitely enjoyed reading this book. The character was likable, the story interesting, surprising and unique. But I just didn't have that 'omg I love this so much!!' feeling.

Nowadays whenever I read a book, I write my thoughts down in my notes app. Both positive and negative thoughts. With this book I haven't written anything down. I don't really see that as a bad thing though.

Nonetheless, I would definitely recommend this book if you're interested in reading it.

"'Want', she told her, in a measured tone, 'is an interesting word. It means lack. Sometimes if we fill that lack with something else the original want disappears entirely. Maybe you have a lack problem rather than a want problem. Maybe there is a life that you really want to live."

TL;DR

+ Likable character
+ Unique story
+ Definitely enjoyed reading it
+ Surprising

- Don't have anything negative to say except that I just didn't have the 'I love this' feeling when reading and therefore can't give it 5 stars.
