Book Synopsis

The remarkable next novel from Matt Haig, the author of #1 New York Times bestseller The Midnight Library, with more than nine million copies sold worldwide

"What looks like magic is simply a part of life we don't understand yet..."

When retired math teacher Grace Winters is left a run-down house on a Mediterranean island by a long-lost friend, curiosity gets the better of her. She arrives in Ibiza with a one-way ticket, no guidebook and no plan.

Among the rugged hills and golden beaches of the island, Grace searches for answers about her friend's life, and how it ended. What she uncovers is stranger than she could have dreamed. But to dive into this impossible truth, Grace must first come to terms with her past.

Filled with wonder and wild adventure, this is a story of hope and the life-changing power of a new beginning.

Spoiler Alert!

I read the comfort book (5/5) and the midnight library (4/5) by Matt Haig which is why I gave this 2 stars but if this is the first book I read from him I would’ve given 1 star and probably not have read any other books from him. Was very confused how nonchalant he decided to write about how both Grace and Karl cheated on each other…like that was the huge turning point how Grace can forgive herself for her infidelity because Karl does “oh I cheated on you too so it’s okay. We both made that “mistake” so forgive yourself.” Even before this part, the book just started becoming a bit lost and confusing what the whole plot of the story was. Unfortunately very disappointed in this one :(
