5.26.2026 - The Midnight Train

 The Midnight Train by Matt Haig

Many thanks to NetGalley and Viking Penguin for gifting me a digital ARC of the new book by Matt Haig.  All opinions expressed in this review are my own - 5 stars!

No one can change the past, but the Midnight Train can take you there. The chance to re-live the moments that meant most. To see what kind of person you really were.  For Wilbur his best days were with Maggie, the love of his life., on his honeymoon in Venice.  Before he gave it all away.

This is listed as part of the Midnight world, after the wonderful The Midnight Library.  Their themes are similar, but they are different books so no worries if you haven't read the first (but you should!).  This is just a beautifully-written story that will have you rethinking your life choices.  I always say you should try and live your life so that you don't have any regrets, although after a life, we all have them.  Wilbur is not always the easiest character to love, but he's had a tough life and is just trying to do his best.  Things always look different when we look back.  It's also a book about books, which I always love.  Never stop reading, live your best life, read this book.
