The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
5.0

What if you could go back and change the biggest regret of your life? Or turn left instead of right at a crossroad? Study art instead of science? The Midnight Library allows you to do this. To 'try on' all the lives you could have lived. What would you choose?

It is such a tantalising premise (and one of my favourite tropes!) as we follow protagonist, Nora, who decides to die and ends up instead at the Midnight Library. It is a whirlwind ride of Groundhog Days and Butterfly Effects, of foreign countries and famous people, of bears, vineyards and rock and roll. But it has such heart, such hope and really is the perfect read for these troubled times.

Highly recommend!
