I love make believe as much as the next person, but this didn’t do it for me. I see how it was operating on all these levels, and understand that a lot of casual readers will enjoy this, but I didn’t find it particularly successful in any of motives. I unfortunately didn’t connect with any of the characters (why was she obsessed with calling that one guy stinky?), found the messaging to be too heavy-handed to all me to forget I was “learning,” didn’t find the message all that unique or interesting, and then the story just felt too bare bones. I love some magic and whimsy, but not like this. I didn’t love the Midnight Library but it is leagues above this one. I think I have to admit that perhaps this author is operating in a way that just isn’t for me.

Will forever now be one of my favorite books ever. Matt Haig writes humanity and is connected to it like so few others. What a gift.
