It is quite a revelation to discover that the place you wanted to escape to is the exact same place you escaped from.

Wow, what a beautiful and touching book. Lately I have found that the books I need to read just simply appear in my life and this was not an exception. The story and concepts explored are fascinating and I deeply resonate with the characters challenges. Thank you for soothing my current existential crisis and guiding me through some pretty powerful realisations. After making me cry and making me smile, I left the Midnight Library with a new found understanding of life’s potential.
