What if you had a chance to relive your life to undo your regrets? What if you could do it over and over again until you found the right life for you?

Nora Seed gets this chance one night after attempting suicide when she wakes up in The Midnight Library. A place between life and death, that has infinite possibilities for a new life. Mrs. Elm, Nora’s school librarian oversees the library and helps to point out what Nora might be looking for. She goes through many different lives, but in each of these other lives there is always something that brings Nora back to The Midnight Library.

I thought this book had a really slow start. I really struggled to get into it. Then, about of a third of the way in, Nora ends up in the Arctic, and I felt the story finally picked up.

There are a lot of different lives that Nora goes through. Some I loved while others didn’t seem needed to help the story. I loved Mrs. Elm and the wisdom she imparted. I found the ending a bit predictable, but honestly loved it. I felt all the feels in the last three-four chapters that I was looking to feel throughout the entire story.

This is definitely a unique take on the what might have been story.
