The Midnight Library started on a melancholy note that can be a little difficult to handle in a fragile emotional state. However, in continuing to read, I found the story unfolding on themes of hope and kindness that were both welcome and expected. This is a book that really encourages readers to let go of regrets and focus on the ways life can be joyful. I am very glad I picked up this book, and while I struggle with giving numbered ratings to books, it is one that I would rate favorably.

1.0

The writing in this book was absolutely horrible. Concepts that were really central to the plot like mental health, suicide, and many worlds theory were so poorly researched that often things were shared about them that were blatantly false and uneducated. The characterization of all of the characters was incredibly poor, and each character was so shallow in their emotions and dialogue that it was painful to read. This was one of those books where it was simply so bad that it was funny, and laughing at how poorly it was written was the only reason I even finished it. Unfortunately, I don't understand the hype that this book has had the last few years.

This was recommended to me by a good friend several months ago, and I am so glad I finally got around to it!! Nora could be any of us, and the way in which she is left to figure out the beauty of life is written so well. I knew the ending at the beginning, and there were no big plot twists or surprises, but this book didn’t need any of that. I thoroughly enjoyed this one.
