The Midnight Library: A Novel

I discovered this book after scrolling the top selling list, and after reading the free sample it seems very interesting. After zip bought it, I read this and finished it in a few days. Can be depressing when it's too sad, but a very easy one to read about life and all the lesson about it. Makes me wonder about my what-ifs, my regrets, but also makes me realize maybe it's all the best for me.

Engaging throughout, this is an easy-to-read, life-affirming, feel-good book about embracing all that life offers you. Don't be put off by the beginning, where protagonist Nora Seed feels like her life has no meaning and all she is good at is letting other people down. And PLEASE DON'T stop reading when she contemplates ending her life. (Suicide attempt warning.) Instead, suspend your disbelief and enjoy Nora's exploration of the The Midnight Library, where she gets to peruse some of the lives she MIGHT have lived. Author Matt Haig offers all of us the chance to watch, vicariously, as Nora does what so many of us think about doing everyday -- answer some of life's most intriguing questions. What if I had stuck with that sport I was good at as a youngster? What if I'd not given up on my passion for music? What if I had married someone else? How would my life be different if I'd made even the smallest decision differently. This novel turns out to be original, ingenious, full of surprises and pure fun! And unless you are a completely callous human - you will end this book feeling better about your own life and choices. Don't miss it!

I came across this book kind of accidentally but after I read the reviews and the book summary, I thought it might be a interesting one to read. Well...it turns out really brilliant,actually. This is the kind of book that makes you reflect on the different aspects of your life and have several new thoughts which is a great book especially in a difficult time like now. The last few chapters are my favorite cause they bring readers hope ! I love this novel- beautifully written and lots of inspirational sentences. ABSOLUTELY RECOMMENDED!!! Finally, hope anyone who is reading this review safe and sound. Stay safe. :)
