This book was just simply beautiful, I absolutely loved this book and all the meaning it holds.

This book has lots of important messages that I think everyone should read and learn from. I really reflected on my own life after reading this book.

"She realized that's what she was. A black hole. A dying star, collapsing in on itself."


"Death is the opposite of possibility."

This book was completely unexpected for me. Going into it, I knew nothing but what the blurb says and that it is/was quite popular on BookTok. What I definitely did not expect was to read this in one sitting. It does have a couple of slight issues that had me wondering what the editor was doing, but those instances thankfully don't impact on the story itself. Apart from those minor issues, I found this book to be a very enjoyable read and will be returning to it again in the future. It has an intriguing premise at its heart which I haven't personally encountered before, and provided a fascinating way to gain perspective on life. Indeed, at several points, I found myself wondering if the library is actually real, in the context of some of my own experiences.
