A beguiling read, filled with warmth and humour, and a vibrant celebration of the power of books to change lives

1. 3/5

   Enjoyable read, but with a caveat...

   I should preface my review with a trigger warning, this book definitely needs one. The most significant story beat that throws our protagonist into the Midnight Library is an attempted suicide and I feel like the publishers really gloss over that part in every description I've read of the story. That being said, if you like a bit of magical realism or a good Sliding Doors-esque story, there's plenty to like here. The story is interesting and enjoyable--we've all asked ourselves, "What if?" "What if I'd ended that relationship earlier?" "What if I had gone to THAT university instead?" Here, we get to find out the different paths that could exist for our protagonist and that's a great setup.

   Nja

   Började bra, men blev något tjatig efter halva boken. Lite för mycket "hoppa in och ut" av olika livsupplevelser. Orkade nästen inte läsa klar boken.

   Fullträff

   En riktig bladvändare. Lättläst och full av humor, allvar och hopp. Vem skulle inte vilja träffa den där trygga personen från uppväxten igen?

   SUPER

   Väldigt fin bok, rekommenderar den skarpt! Vacker sorglig historia som säkert många kan relatera till. Lättläst men med ett fint budskap.
