Thoughts

Another Matt Haig book in the series of books that are just designed to make you feel a bit better about life. It’s full of anecdotes, quotes, lists, stories, anything light and lifting. Some bits were quite eye-opening, others are tropes you’ll have heard before, but it’s always good to be reminded. It’s not a long book but it’s definitely one that’s worth dipping into every now and again.
