This is my first Matt Haig book. I was not one of the millions back in 2020 or after that read The Midnight Library (and probably never will be at this point) but I was expecting this book to be as good as "they" all said the last one was. 
I tried so hard to like it. I tried to keep reading the see where this was going, it started off just all right so it took a lot of effort when I was thinking about all the other books I could be reading instead. I kept reading to try to get used to the style and to find something to grab ahold of to keep my interested. I gave it my best shot but I gave up at almost 30%. There was nothing happening, in my opinion and I did not like the main character. And things started to turn weird, and unrealistic.
And really.... who responds to a letter from a former student who really is asking for help with a "letter" like this? 

Thanks to Netgalley and HarperCollins Canada for the opportunity to try to read this book.
