The Midnight Library

 The Midnight Library by Matt Haig 288 pages

Synopsis: Between life and death there is a library.

When Nora Seed finds herself in the Midnight Library, she has a chance to make things right. Up until now, her life has been full of misery and regret. She feels she has let everyone down, including herself. But things are about to change.

The books in the Midnight Library enable Nora to live as if she had done things differently. With the help of an old friend, she can now undo every one of her regrets as she tries to work out her perfect life. But things aren't always what she imagined they'd be, and soon her choices place the library and herself in extreme danger.

Before time runs out, she must answer the ultimate question: what is the best way to live?

My Thoughts: A few of my favorite quotes:

“You’re overthinking it.’ ‘I have anxiety. I have no other type of thinking available.”

“She realised that you could be as honest as possible in life, but people only see the truth if it is close enough to their reality.”

This book was such a good book, I wasn't expecting it to be. I loved the idea of getting to explore multiple different lives, of what could have been. Though the moral is the life you have should be cherished and don't live life with regrets.
