other than that i did love reading the book quite a bit. i loved the general idea of the book, as well as the language and style that it was written in. especially the fact that the chapters can be very short helped my reading experience a lot. i also found myself relating the the topics as well as the main character nora at several points and felt myself “growing” alongside her. this is not my typical genre to read, but after hearing so many people in my life talk highly about the book i decided to get into it and i do not regret it. the only thing i have to say is that at times it could feel a little bit like story was stuck in a loop, but that was never too long for me personally.
long story short: it was a really enjoyable read and, especially towards the end, i couldn’t put it down :))

the midnight library has an intriguing premise, deals w/ interesting themes and ideas; def makes me reflect, and can be inspiring and life-affirming at points. also appreciate how it doesnt end w/ a new romantic prospect that solves all of the main character's problems.
however, i feel like suddenly thrusting nora into various situations w/o any understanding of each life's inner workings isnt the best way to go abt it. the writing's also clunky and the dialogue could even be rly awkward at points, and that becomes annoying after a while. i get why many ppl love this book, but in my opinion it couldve been better executed.
