Midnight Library is the biggest deception of my year

Started with amazing couple of lines. THe premise looked amazing with those starting chapters. ANd then, by 35-40% of the book it turned into the most corny and pretentious self help book closer to Paulo Coelho or The Knight in Rusty Armour.

How this book ended up in many lists of good books? I will never know. But hey, we're in a time where Emilia Perez is nominated for something other than the Razzie of the Century, so shouldn't be a surprising bad taste.
