This is a “Interview with a Vampire” without “a vampire” book. It’s derivative, funny, light, and “new age”

Although the midnight library is my favorite, I have a feeling Matt Haig can never disappoint!

I previously read this when it was first released in the summer and really enjoyed it. But, for me, this edition illustrated by Chris Riddell is the definitive edition. Both illustrations and text enhance and complement each other, lifting it to a whole other level. But whether you prefer books with pictures or without, I would highly recommend picking this up in whatever form you can.
