This book started so slow. It took a lot for me to keep reading and not DNF. Picked up a little toward the last third but I never really connected with any character.

I feel like the idea here could have had so much potential but this just wasn’t it for me. The first half was excruciatingly boring. It picked up slightly, and I mean SLIGHTLY, around the half-way point. There was no character arc, and no character development until around 95% completion. Even that was very little. Disappointing considering I’ve had this on my TBR for a few years because of the very misleading synopsis.

Cleverly written fantasy, and thought provoking, similar to the author's Midnight Library novel I read first. Enjoyed both.

Easy read with a sweet message. When my mom told me she liked this tale better than Midnight Library, I found it hard to believe. However, she was right!

Matt Haig is easily one of my favorite authors, especially after reading this book.
