Books Like Matt Haig

Oona Out of Order by Margarita Montimore

If you loved The Midnight Library's tour of unlived lives, this delivers the same vicarious thrill of testing alternate paths—but through decades-jumping chaos that forces you to choose between ambition, intimacy, and the messy wisdom of living your life out of order. Same craving for regret transformed into adventure, same reassuring arc toward self-acceptance, wilder premise that keeps the speculative comfort without the heavy abstraction.

Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt

You loved how The Life Impossible turned grief into luminous second chances, wrapping existential questions in Ibiza's whimsy without preaching. You craved that validation—that midlife regrets can spark metamorphosis, that wonder still hides in routine. This energy doesn't vanish when you close Haig's pages.
