The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
2.0
I have no idea what to say. I feel bad that I didn't say "I loved this book so much" after finishing it. Maybe it's my fault because I went into this with so many exceptions, and I was so excited for this because I'm a big fan of the Multiverse, but it felt incomplete to me.
Nora was relatable. I, struggle from depression and found myself relating to her in many aspects. But even though I deeply related to her, I disliked her. She had such a big privilege, that she didn't even consider. The way she always thought that in her new life she would be happy and without problems BUT that's not how life works, life isn't perfect, and you will encounter many shitty things and nothing is easy, so her being mad about this was annoying to me. Nora could have been so much.
The whole book felt like a self-help post on Instagram that has 100k likes from people that don't even go through anything and just like + repost it to make themselves be seen in a good light. "The only way to learn is to live." this line especially.
The Midnight Library wasn't bad, but it wasn't good. I'm glad that the chapters were so short, it was an easy read.
