The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
5.0


oof..... im sad. this was a really good book. I loved it a lot. I dont know why this book resonated with me so much... I think it has to do with regrets and everything that Nora goes through in the midnight library. The whole idea of the book of regrets was incredible to me. If you think about the facebook post (I think it was facebook) that Nora writes about having regrets and possible lives and how you don't exactly mourn for those "lost" lifes, but instead mourn for the regrets that you have... I think that's the main point in this book. What I took from this book is, regrets make your life worse. If you let them turn to ash and burn them, you'll be alright. I'm still young, I'm 19, which means I don't have many regrets yet, but now that I've read this book, I think my life will be much easier with this outlook on life and regrets.
Thank you Matt for writing this book, it really touched me.
