Matt Haig is easily one of my favorite authors, especially after reading this book.
Must read! So funny, sweet, and lots of great historical references. I adore this book and Matt Haig’s writing style!!
Lovely!
Lots of food for thought and life lessons in this fascinating little book.
Very cool concept, just a little mundane at times
This was enjoyable enough. I preferred Midnight Library but this was a nice way to pass the downtime this weekend.
