It’s fair to say that Maddie’s life in London is far from rewarding. With a mother who spends most of her time in Ghana (yet still somehow manages to be overbearing), Maddie is the primary caretaker for her father, who suffers from advanced stage Parkinson’s. At work, her boss is a nightmare and Maddie is tired of always being the only Black person in every meeting.

Writing style
Reviewed: 06-22-25
I enjoyed listening to this book especially after chapter 18. The writing style felt like diary entries I always knew what Maddie was feeling and somehow was able to feel those with her as well. I liked that it felt very real and relatable.

Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher, or a colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching, helped you see the world as a more profound place, gave you sound advice to help you make your way through it.

Somewhere out beyond the edge of the universe there is a library that contains an infinite number of books, each one the story of another reality. One tells the story of your life as it is, along with another book for the other life you could have lived if you had made a different choice at any point in your life. While we all wonder how our lives might have been, what if you had the chance to go to the library and see for yourself? Would any of these other lives truly be better? In The Midnight Library, Nora Seed finds herself faced with this decision.

I liked that this book had me thinking about my life choices and the many possibilities there are. I really enjoyed this book however i felt like there could have been less details on the many different lives lived and maybe look at her life on waking up

Both performance and story were great. I liked the historical element and how it was so vividly painted. The sisterhood bond and theme of faith was also really good.

Throughout her childhood, Safiya Sinclair’s father, a volatile reggae musician and a militant adherent to a strict sect of Rastafari, was obsessed with the ever-present threat of the corrupting evils of the Western world outside their home, and worried that womanhood would make Safiya and her sisters morally weak and impure. For him, a woman’s highest virtue was her obedience.

You can tell alot of effort was put into this book and it felt personal and honest. I would reccommend the physical book however as the narration was a bit too polished/ performative for me.

Male narrator ruined the book for me
Reviewed: 05-23-25
From the very beginning the slow breathy narration from the male author was so unsettling. I am actually surprised I was able to get to end. Normally, I would like a tortured romance but this was not it. Karis marrying Cam, both Karis and Walsh pining after each other was so annoying. Overall did not like.

Faith, love and family
Reviewed: 06-18-24
This is the 2nd book in the series but it could be read as a standalone as there was no overlap to the previous storyline barring the mention of Chip and Ali. From Ali was introduced, I thought she would end up with Chip and thats what the next series would probably focus on but this was so much better.
The themes of friendship and sisterhood was a linking theme and I really liked that there was more incorporation of God and faith in this series. I liked the complexities of the family issues and how the author emphasized the importance of communication, prayer and trusting God. There was a bit of a dip in the storyline but the full read was all worth it in the end. This story is tied with Before I called you mine as my faves from the author.
