Considering this book had been on my shelf for months and I wasn't that enthusiastic about reading it, this book really surprised me. I thought it was going to be childish but the idea of the library was really cool. Was a little bit cringey at times though.

sorry i didn't like this book at all and tried to hard to like it! 

the repetition was a bit annoying (even with the different stories) and the ending was predictable. just didn't like it at all.

also that one line of microaggresion erm what "he said in his very good english" yeah just overall didnt like this vibe.

Skipping the rating because I “read” the first half of this book as an audiobook on a cross-country road trip, then finished it on paper almost two months later. Maybe worth a reread at some point.
