The Midnight Library

It's unexpectedly hard for me to write a review on this book... I guess it is an average book, quite predictable and cliche, but in a way that it makes you want it to be cliche. It is pretty straight forward, it has a likeable main character, and the concept is quite interesting. If anything, I would have liked to read about other settings, besides the library, as well. I don't know, for some reason the mention of the restaurant really got me wondering. What would they serve?

The first part of the book felt quite depressing to me, the middle felt more like fantasy, and the end felt a bit over the top. I actually wanted it to be longer, everything concluded a bit too quickly. However, I did enjoy it. In essence, 'The Midnight Library' is an easy read, and it is a hopeful story. But after having read it, I don't feel like it did much for me. Given the concept of it, I feel like it should have been more impactful. I am not mad, though, I did genuinely enjoy reading it, and I probably would have been amazed by it to read it as a teenager.
