The Comfort Book by Matt Haig

3.0

---

I bought this book because I read Reasons to Stay Alive a few years back and I loved it. I expected this book to have similar vibes just based on the title, but that was my fault for not really looking into it. The book was okay - there were a handful of pages that I found very moving (and comforting). A handful of good reminders and messages that I hadn't thought about before. There were also a handful of pages/passages that I couldn't really relate to, nor cared about. One thing I liked about the layout of the book is how there's no "correct" way to read it - which Matt Haig himself tells his readers. You can easily read it in one sitting if you want, you can spread it out, you can flip to a random page in the middle of the book, or read it whichever else way. I think this is still a nice read to just have sitting on a coffee table or something - somewhere easily accessible if you ever need it.
