Finished Matt Haig's eminently readable The Midnight Library this afternoon. I don't think I've read such an avowedly therapeutic novel before. Not sure I quite approve of the potential genre, if this turns out to be the beginning of a new school of fiction, but I approve of Mr Haig's inventiveness and his soundness of heart. I can understand why so many readers love the book and I suspect it'll do a lot of good in the world.
Am still trying to figure out what exactly is bothering me about the novel, but something is, despite my admiration for what the writer has achieved.
