i thought this was going to be a cute graphic novel on a girl befriending a ghost but it's not, IT'S SO MUCH BEthis was so much deeper than i expected
i thought this was going to be a cute graphic novel on a girl befriending a ghost but it's not, IT'S SO MUCH BETTER
- there were some deep messages that we get at the end - i really liked the shift in tone and plot halfway through the book, i DID NOT see that coming and i was surprised but in a definite good way - very cute, the art was good, i liked the development of the story - the ending was done well, wish we got some closure with her and her family and a little more on self acceptance and all that - the art was ✨exquisite✨ - very emo, very angsty, loved the vibes

matt haig literally takes on the most extensive topics like life decisions, regrets, and parallel universes, and does it with incredible tact.
it follows a woman named nora who is especially unhappy with her current life situation and finds no fulfillment in anything. events pass that make her find herself in a library suspended between time with endless books, each containing another life she can slip into.
each new life nora gets to experience in these parallel universes leaves her with a new, deeper understanding of life, choice, and her personal regrets.
i personally thought this book wrecked my life because wow did i feel DUMB when the parallel universe/science-y stuff came into play. matt haig's brain is so powerful to encompass all this philosophical information and then put it into coherent thoughts!!! i could never!!
"What do I do now?" "You open the book and turn to the first page."
on a personal level, i really enjoyed this book. like the conversations it brought up felt like it was JUST PERFECT for my current life state. it made me think so deeply about so many topics especially on making choices and feeling regret
there were many moments of this book that felt repetitive to me and yes, i guess that's the whole point of parallel universe realities but there were times i felt it was hard to keep reading and easy to put it down
the ending of the book was amazing!!! the perfect ending to nora's story!! any other ending would have left me with endless disappointment so im glad matt haig pulled through.
i'm definitely going to pick up the author's other books bc he is clearly incredibly smart and talented and knows how to give me a proper existential crisis

i'm like split down the middle on this one, i really really really liked the ending bit. i thought it was really emotional and powerful and beautiful
...but the road to getting there was kind of difficult. i had a hard time focusing on what was going on, it was very confusing for my small brain to comprehend. i also found the pacing veryyy slow until the action started and that's when i got really invested.
it's definitely one of the most unique books i've ever read. i'm not big on horror (i honestly read like a negative amount of horror books a year) so maybe i'm just very unseasoned in this genre and you're probably, most likely going to love it, like everyone else

i absolutely love the new and fresh take this book had to offer YA fantasy
- right from the start, i was entranced by the writing - it's descriptive and lyrical and kept my interest even during the slower parts of the boko - the main character was great. she was caring and kind and showed her power through friendships and alliances. i thought that was pretty cool to see her hold power in court without having to be a sword wielding warrior - this is a retelling based off the story 'goose girl' but i have no idea what the goose girl story is and that just goes to show that this book can stand on it's own - the conversations it brought on justice and revenge were really interesting - this book got dark at some points so definitely be aware that there are themes of abuse and rape that a character suffers (and oh my god it made me want to cry ...more

okay right from the start, our main character is just establishing herself as this wicked, spiteful, badass character.
she goes on and on about how she’s going to trick the shadow king, the most powerful man in the kingdom, into falling in love with her and then she'll kill him and take the crown and power for herself etc. etc.

it's like a steampunk jumanji (i never watched jumanji tho hehe) set in an south asian inspired world. the writing is absolutely gorgeous, the detailing of the world and the descriptions of food and setting, so very well done
i loved how the author was able to seamlessly entwine aspects of islamic & bangladeshi culture into the story. the fact that there's a hijabi main character that's faith and practices aren't the main conflict of the story ...more

this was so much fun and i'd definitely recommend it to younger readers and adult readers who enjoy fantasy and high stakes without being ridiculously complicated or slow paced. ugh, it was so much fun.

from the author who wrote two of my FAVOURITE contemporaries, i assure you, i am the one who's the most disappointed right now :(((((((((((((((((
i seriously was so confused throughout the entire book. and if you ask me right now what the book is about, i still can't give you a coherent response because i SERIOUSLY DON'T KNOW
anyways, excuse me while i allow my tears and sadness and disappointment consume me ...more
