Not a book to read if a person is in a depressed mood (given the attempted suicide early on in the book and what begins the central plot of the story). However, ultimately, it is about finding the meaning in YOUR life and what makes it special. Very philosophical, but that’s part of the charm and what made it memorable to me.

Had very high hopes for this book after seeing a review on Booktok. It was definitely good but not as amazing as I thought. Loved the ending though saw it coming a long way off

This book is absolutely heart wrenching. It is morbidly beautiful. The Midnight Library has made me reflect profoundly on my own life and the people from my past and present, and also those in my future who I may not have even met yet. It has reminded me to feel at every opportunity, to love those around you, to forgive and to live in your own present reality. Please read this book 💙
