This book is a tough one for me specifically because I felt it was a bit contrived in the message. As someone who has struggled deeply with my mental health and knows people who have attempted ending their lives it was a hard read. That being said I thought the concept and world building of the library was fantastic and whimsical, and really got my imagination going. However the theme of choices and the implications they have on life is a bit to laid out for my taste. I believe it could’ve been more nuanced especially considering the levity of the story and the struggles the main character is going through.

I finished read the Midnight Library couple months ago and I really wish I have this kit those time.
In here we got some materials worth to make our book clubs discussion alive. First part is about series of questions that the answers could be key lead to everyone life experiences discussion too.
The second part is exclusive interview with the author from what come from his inspiration to write this book and some other else.
I found this book kit is interesting and complimentary reading the real book.

I did not understand that this was only the book club kit and not the book itself. As I haven't read the book, the kit is not of use to me. My apologies, but thank you for allowing me access to it.

This is a mix for me. This book may attract viewers in a personal perspective while others may find it boring. There were parts that I found repetitive and could’ve shorten the story. I can’t say I love it or hate it. It was a very interesting read.

(I'm not an easily triggered person but I do think this needed a trigger warning since it deals with suicide very heavily)
From the description I understood it was a story of different lives of different people and how they might entwine, I was a bit disappointed when it turned out to be just one person, but it was ok, its well told however it get a bit boring when she notices she doesn't really like any of her lives.
Then it kind of turns into a self help book somehow, self help its important and Ive read a few of those but its just not what I signed in for when choosing this book.
Ill give it 3 stars cuz I did like the story and the idea of the library, also it was very interesting to see how it was her who didn't really like, not her life.

I was emotionally and mentally stimulated by this book and it is one that I will not part with and when I need reminding that things could be much worse, I shall pick it up and read parts again. I cannot say who I would recommend this book to because in my mind it is a book with nothing to dislike about it but, like I admitted we can't all like the same things. If you have questions about yourself and how your life could be better and have nothing but regrets maybe this book will give you a little of the insight that you need to reevaluate yourself and your life and hopefully see that things could be worse and that life is truly worth living.

The Book Club Kit for THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY by Matt Haig is a good addition to the book & would make discussing this book at a bookclub meeting so much easier. This book would be ideal to discuss in a close group. The included questions will provide an easy framework for discussing the book and the things highlighted by it. It’s an excellent resource. The Q & A with the author is nice, it’s a little interview that will share a bit about the author. I always think that learning more about the author enriches my reading experience of a book.
Thank you to NetGalley for the complimentary copy of the book in exchange for my honest review.

This book club kit was very well put together. I thought the questions were thought out well.
I also enjoyed the section with the author, it gives you a different perspective of the book.

I really like having the social media icons and handles at the end, gives the readers a way to connect with the author.

5⭐️ Book Club Kit!

I thought that this was a decent read. I was expecting a little bit more out of it, though I did like the idea of parallel universe and how the main character grew and learned with each life that she had chosen.

TW: suicide, cancer, death, drugs, and alcohol

The discussion questions were helpful for the book club.

I haven't read the actual book but by reading this kit, its like you're getting an idea about the book. With the insights from the author, it helps with the overall background of the story.

The design of this is really cool! I enjoyed the graphic elements a lot. I also liked that it included discussion questions and an interview with the author. Would be a good companion for reading this in a book club!

I knew I would like this book from the very first page. The plot is imaginative, unique, and interesting! I found myself folding down numerous pages with little words of wisdom that I will carry with me. I may be a bit biased as I do love Matt Haig's writing. :) Highly recommend, especially for first time readers of Haig's work.

This was a wonderful resource for Bookclub. The questions were very thought provoking and so different to other examples I have found online.
I also really enjoyed the interview with Matt Haig the author as it gave us another insight into the book.
I wish I had more of these for our book club.

This book was very helpful in discussing different narratives around The Midnight Library. It's great for starting detailed conversations and getting everyone's different points of view.

I enjoyed looking at the questions with my friend- it led to some discussions surrounding the book. This was the first thing I downloaded on Netgalley and helped me get into the swing of things!

I clicked on the wrong link. This Is only the book club review. NOT THE ACTIAL BOOK. Again this link did not include yje actual book.

While the book had plenty of things to talk about on its own, the book club kit for Midnight Library was really helpful to push discussion and allow us to talk about things other than what we came up with ourselves.

As someone who has tried and failed to create or be apart of MANY book clubs, I absolutely love this kit! This book is one of my top books on my TBR along with a few friends, after showing this to them we have decided to read and discuss together and use this kit to guide us! This kit was sadly lacking in much of anything except author interview and discussion questions. Not very impressive or interactive for a book club.
