Condescending nature of librarian character
Contrived lecturing
Nice concept but dull
I listened to this on audiobook and though I would enjoy the narration by Carey Mulligan. However, I found the writing so repetitive and the character of the librarian so condescending and lecturing that it ended up being a DNF for me. Shame as I liked the premise and it's exploration of mental health. I also liked Haig's previous books which were quirky and well-written but this one just didn't meet the mark for me.

"Juno is for me, the perfect one-liner movie. “Thundercats are go!” “That’s one doodle that can’t be undid.” I actually do use that one, more than rarely. It’s another film with a great overall soundtrack. It’s not a style of music that I always find myself getting into, but I think it’s one of those movies where the soundtrack fits the film to a T. The movie itself is quirky, it’s got a kind of a brash attitude, and I think the music really goes hand in hand with that."

This was my first book by the author and after reading several mixed reviews for this book; some loving it and others saying it was the worst they'd read by her, I was a little wary.

I have to admit though, that I liked the story. It was a rather simple and straight-forward one, I must confess, but the characters were likeable (apart from Addison, I loathed that girl!), very quirky in their ways but it was very sweet.

It wont be the only book I read by the author.
