I truly appreciate it.An unhappy woman who tries to commit suicide finds herself in a mysterious library that allows her to explore new lives. And as always, thank you for reading my post. If you happen to worry a lot about things you can’t control. I highly recommend this book if you feel like your life has lost meaning over time. Many of her regrets in life were over things that were outside of her control, teaching us that it is okay to let things go and focus on the now. Sometimes, or most times humans tend to worry and regret things that they initially didn’t have any control over. That’s also another point this book made which I thought explained really well how the human mind worked. That if you don’t live your day to day like it was your last, you’ll end up regretting many things in life that you honestly didn’t have control over. I guess this book brings the question of is life really worth living? That’s why I think this book is so important to read because regardless of whether the story is impactful in your life or not, it talks about the important fact of the will to live. Does everyone in this world when they die by accident or by suicide get to experience one version of the midnight library, like the Hugo character she met while living one of her lives? Or do killers and abusers also get this opportunity? Because the purpose of the library is to offer you another chance to live and if so, do those people deserve another chance? I’m not here to play morality police, but I’m just wondering. The only thing I didn’t quite understand was who gets to have this choice. “Happy moments can turn into pain, given time.” The Midnight Library is there to help you choose a life that you can stay at after your death. And time in the real world doesn’t change while you’re living all those lives you could’ve had. Think of it as a limbo space between life and death, you’re not quite dead yet but you are also not alive. So, depending on a different choice that Nora could’ve made earlier in her life, she gets to live it in this Midnight Library. After she dies, she enters this world where “spirits” get to live their lives again had they made different choices within it. She was done with life and giving up on everything.


In this book, we follow the story of Nora Seed, who’s depressed and thinks no one loves her. “Because, Nora, sometimes the only way to learn is to live.”
