In The Midnight Library, Matt Haig’s enchanting blockbuster novel, Nora Seed finds herself faced with this decision. Faced with the possibility of changing her life for a new one, following a different career, undoing old breakups, realizing her dreams of becoming a glaciologist; she must search within herself as she travels through the Midnight Library to decide what is truly fulfilling in life, and what makes it worth living in the first place.
One for the shelves of my home. This was a lovely lovely warm read like a cup of cofee on a damp evening. So much joy and so much love pouring out. No book made me feel this way in a really long time. This book is going to stay with me for a very long time. Wonderfull read!!
Cool concept. The story was kind of predictable though, and there was no effort to reconcile the concept of Nora being dropped into these lives, with what happened to the "other Nora" she replaced. Felt like a self-help book in novel format. A bit disappointed.
You should have no regrets about life after this one. Affirming yet tough and true.
A bit of a warning, if you've ever been depressed, this book can make you touch very difficult feelings. But it's worth the struggle.
