A review by meyrathedreamer
The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
3.0
"It would have made things a lot easier if we understood there was no way of living that can immunize you against sadness. And that sadness is intrinsically part of the fabric of happiness. You can’t have one without the other. Of course, they come in different degrees and quantities. But there is no life where you can be in a state of sheer happiness forever. And imagining there is just breeds more unhappiness in the life you’re in"
Well, that book was different. I liked it but it didn't feel like a novel, it felt more like a self-help book which I didn't expect to read but still liked. It was lacking in many aspects as at first I didn't get into the book because well, the description was poor. But the subject was interesting, millions of possibilities to live a life, amazing and overwhelming and in the end, it gave me some kind of hope. That was probably the aim of the book, so it was a good one.
