I'm gradually adding books I've read in 2021 to give a true reflection of the books I've read since keeping records.  In January 2021, I kick-started my reading journey having put reading on the  back burner whilst bringing up the children only reading when on holiday, having previously being an avid reader.  I really enjoyed this book, its a story of Nora, but self reflecting, the regrets we have in life, how things could be different, hope and second chances. An easy but wonderful read

thought it would be more exciting and magical, not a cringy self help book. characters are very flat, including the main character. not once did i feel any kind of empathy towards her. ending was very predictable.

This was wonderful!
I read this book by the time I was so disappointed. Reading The Midnight Library opened a door to a life to me.
It ,Of course, is a must-read.

I liked the concept of the book. The ending was great i just didn’t enjoy the middle of the book. It had nice parts for sure but it dragged on a little long for me and got quite philosophical in a weird way. It seems like the author wanted the book to help you but just kinda shoved it in your face.
