Book: The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★
We read this book for book club WAY back in June. I had heard so much about it. I just knew it was going to be so awesome!
So... was it awesome? I would say it was mostly... weird.. .and yet quite intriguing and thought provoking.
It's about a girl who wants to die, but instead of dying, she ends up in the Midnight Library where the librarian she remembers from her childhood tells her to think about her perfect life, and she can go try that one out instead.
So so goes back to life, but this time in her fantasy life and she finds out pretty quickly, all is not so well in this life either.
And so she tries out another, and another and another. Until she FINALLY finds the perfect life, but is it really?
I enjoyed it and the "moral" of the story quite a bit. It was a little preachy I suppose in parts, but mostly I didn't notice. It reminded me a lot of the movie It's a Wonderful Life.
