The Midnight Library by Matt Haig 288 pages
"Somewhere out beyond the edge of the universe there is a library that contains an infinite number of books, each one the story of another reality. One tells the story of your life as it is, along with another book for the other life you could have lived if you had made a different choice at any point in your life. While we all wonder how our lives might have been, what if you had the chance to go to the library and see for yourself? Would any of these other lives truly be better?"
Nora Seed finds herself facing these questions one night when she has decided she'd tired of being alive. Faced with choices in her books in the Midnight Library, Nora has the opportunity to undo some of her regrets. But does that mean a happy life? Nora will be required to reach deep inside herself to determine if any of these lives are truly worth living.
I liked this book enough to buy it after I read the Library's copy -- which tells you it's pretty good. I really enjoyed this book and not only the story, itself, but the writing. I found Nora to be an interesting character and the way the story progresses, you go along with her as she explores the different possible lives she can lead. Definitely some parts that made me get a lump in my throat --- but that's a good story that does that.
