The Midnight Library, by Matt Haig

This book is about a woman who decides that she no longer wants to live, and wakes up in a library. She is told by the librarian that all the books in the library are versions of her life where she made different choices, along with a book that is filled with all the regrets she has ever had. When she selects books, she gets to experience a version of her life. She gets to spend time in each of her life versions, but she leaves each life each time that she thinks there might be another version that could be better.

I thought this book was really moving and very enjoyable to read. I found it to be a bit predictable at times, but I didn’t mind, and it made it a very wholesome and comforting book. I gave this book 4 stars, as I thought the ending was just a bit too perfect and unrealistic. Obviously, this book is not for anyone who doesn’t want to read about death or people ending their lives.

How dyslexia-friendly is it?

A few people warned me that they had struggled to read this book, so I decided to listen to the audiobook instead. I personally didn’t have any difficulties it, I found it easy to follow and understand, and it is quite a short read!
