First of all this book does something that every other book I love doesn't do: has a proper ending that shows where the characters go. 
I really enjoyed the flow of the book and the metaphors that were consistent throughout but not overbearing and obvious. 
The only way I would change it would be how I found it odd she never tried a life twice. At the end she wanted one that was like the one with Molly but only slightly different. I thought she would try that with maybe the band one where she was happy but Joe was dead. Maybe she could have said, I choose to stay in the band and choose to get Joe into rehab or smth. 
It's only February but a strong contender for favourite book of the year.

The Midnight Library is a profound book. Not only was it a pleasure to read, it was inspiring. As someone who has battled through dark times, i felt understood. Okay to be flawed.

I guess I was expecting something less... simple? Fast and easy read, left me wanting something more though.
