Matt Haig — 5 titles in the rankings, first published between 2015 and 2026. They average 7.9, above the 7.8 the whole catalogue averages. One series has a reading order worth keeping to.

Editor’s note The Midnight Library is the most-read here but his lowest-rated novel. Readers rate Reasons to Stay Alive, his memoir of depression, clearly higher, and his Christmas books for children — starting with A Boy Called Christmas — higher still. How to Stop Time sits in between.
