The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
4.0
3.5 Stars
I thought this book did a fine job making the reader feel a bit revitalized about motivation and digging yourself out from a rut. Matt is a very empathetic author that can expertly write about the human condition. He's not afraid to write about the aspects in life we all try to hide in order to maintain the status quo. Especially in this book, he is not afraid to "go there."
Sometimes, the mechanics/way the whole "purgatory" system works can feel like the rules are made up along the way just to purposely make things harder for Nora and add to the drama.
However, I did feel for the character and sympathized with her. I thought it was a decent read. This book was definitely hyped, and I totally understand why it was. It was a good read.
