The Midnight Library

Matt Haig

This book had an uphill climb to winning my affection by using the phrase "big lol" within the first ten pages, and the multiple well-placed Frank Ocean references sent it tumbling back down at intervals, but it's hard to begrudge a book that you can breeze through in a weekend too much. The concept is cool, and the execution is concise, if predictable, and of course, it has a nice message. I guess I ultimately found it to be kind of merely scratching the surface of the concept, but nothing about it is what I'd call bad.
