One of the best books I've ever read. I want a tattoo of a stack of green books because of this book. Perfection.

This is absolutely my new favourite Matt Haig book. Even if you've never read a book by him you can tell just how much of him went into this one. It was beautifully thought out and pulls you in pretty much immediately, I am definitely going to keep recommending this one.

I didn’t love it or hate it, I’m kinda stuck in the middle especially with the ending it was dare I say, predictable? Not to mention there were some parts that were so boring how I managed to not DNF is a mystery.

This book is like reading the deepest, most inner part of my heart. Loved everything about it.

if i hated this book i would’ve said “i wish i could go to the midnight library and pick a book where i never read this” but i actually loved it so that joke will never be made (by me: another rachel probably hated this book. ew i’m getting meta).
anyways, i really liked this book! i thought nora kinda sucked in the beginning but that was kinda the point- no offense nora. some of the lines in here hit a little too hard, like i was getting all philosophical about my life. i was on the verge of TEARS when nora was saying goodbye to molly but i cackled when she got the call from ryan bailey. that was so funny omg.
i was getting bing-bong dying in inside-out vibes when the library burned down (side note- the book of regrets being the first to burn *chef’s kiss”) and mrs. elm or god(?) was telling nora to go. ugh made me so sad.

also- a fourth of my books i’ve read this year have mentioned schrödinger’s cat. wtf is up with that?!
