3.75 ⭐️ (rounded up) I appreciate midnight library for it’s inspiring plot.  It’s a great reminder to just live and continue with life’s potential. I think this is a good book to pick up when life is life-ing, you know? 

Beware, multiple trigger warnings.

I really loved this book and the message that it shares. I feel like this is a book I’ll likely want to come back to many times as a reminder that no decision is so permanent that I’ll be stuck forever. That the most important thing is that we must keep living and trying and adapting to the person we are growing in to. I really appreciated the reminder that even the small decisions you make hold impact to those around you. 

Overall just a really nice, simply wholesome read on a very serious topic.

3.0

This book had a strange mix of being pretentious yet predictable, simple yet profound almost as if it were deep but only on the surface. I would say it was a nice easy read but it explores a lot of dark themes rather rashly and the message would likely be hidden behind all the triggers for those the message is intended for.

The ending was cheesy and brought the book down for me. But it was a really fascinating concept and, until the end, I felt the author treated the difficult subject matter with care.
