The Midnight Library by Matt Haig

3.0

sad medium-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I went in completely blind to this read, and wasn’t prepared for the strong themes of depression and suicide, especially in the first 1/4 of the book. If you can get past the sadness or are in the mood for a downer, it’s an okay but forgettable read.
