The Midnight Library
by Matt Haig
Existing between life and death, The Midnight Library contains endless books that can bring the readers to parallel universes of their choosing. What would you do if you had the chance to undo your regrets and live any life you want? With this decision, Nora Seed must determine what a fulfilling and successful life she wants. From becoming an Olympic swimmer, a glaciologist, and a world-famous rock star, the options are infinite. Ultimately, Nora has to face all her past decisions and regrets in order to truly live.
The Midnight Library is such a polarizing read. I've seen reviews ranging from "the best science fiction" to "boring and repetitive" to "inappropriate portrayal of suicide and mental health". I personally enjoyed reading it because I'm a total sucker for parallel universes (even though I still can't spell parallel without autocorrect lol). The writing is effortless to read, and I like the melancholy tone about regrets, life, relationships, and humanity. The life lessons can sometimes be a tad cheesy, but overall The Midnight Library is a fantastic read about confronting remorse and finding the strength to go on.
