This book started for me as just another easy fluffy read to devour whilst on a sunbed with a cocktail in hand. However it soon became much much more.

To appreciate the book fully you have to leave any preconceived ideas at the first page and open up you mind to a magical world.

Jo, Adelaine and Kye are all struggling for one reason or another in their fairly mundane lives without being able to see a future. From a brief meeting at a food bank and a mysterious leaflet about the Midnight Bookshop, little do they know that their lives are about to change.

There is much talk in the book about escaping into a book and becoming part of it. As a deaf person I have said for years that I am no deaf when I read as I become the narrator or a character or just intrinsically woven into the story.

The magical part of this book does require you to suspend belief for a while but I suggest you do to have the full experience of a fabulous story!

I will be recommending this to my Bookclub
