47/50 After losing J I've carried a dread of the unknown for what happened after he died. @matthaig1 offered comfort with this book that I didn't except. The Midnight Library is a book about choices, lives, & perspectives. I truly love this book. #2021PopsugarReadingChallenge https://t.co/ub6V15SEcB
