A review by readwithamey_
The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
4.0
Wow. I really loved this book! As someone who struggles with my mental health this book hit me deeply and was really inspiring. The whole book was so easy to read, it is very well written and I loved the fact it had short chapters.
It was great to follow Nora on a journey in the library. She started off convinced that she wasn’t made for her life and that she wanted to die, but with each alternate life we got to see the lessons she’s learned and how her mindset changes. Nora’s story is really thought provoking and really goes to show that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. For me, the main take away from the book is that life is what you make it and I found this really comforting.
I’ve seen a lot of mixed review’s especially around the mental health elements and I guess everyone’s interpretation and take away from the book is going to be the same, but in my opinion I thought that this was definitely worth the read and I will highly recommend this to anyone
