This book was a rollercoaster of emotion.

It didn't take the classic approach of sad to happy ever after, but a wave of deep depression to mediocre to happy to contentment to an attitude of inspiration to continue life and appreciate all the possibilities without allowing the past to ruin life.

INCREDIBLE BOOK

I needed to read this book at this moment in my life. It reminded me that although we all wish some things in our lives were different and have ‘what if’s’ fill our heads often, there is so much beauty in life and choosing to live. Each of us, even those who feel like they don’t matter much, matter. One small action could change the course of someone’s life, and you deserve to be around to see it. 

If you are in a dark place mentally, I would not read this BUT if you’re in a place to HEALTHILY reflect on your life and be confronted with the possibilities of life then it’s a wonderful read and leads to great reflection 

 Have you ever battled with all of the "what ifs" in life?

The Midnight Library is a novel about Nora Seed, who feels like her life has gone off track. She’s unhappy and filled with regrets, so she decides to end it all. But instead of dying, she wakes up in a mysterious place called the Midnight Library. This library is special because every book in it represents a version of her life, based on the different choices she could have made. Nora gets the chance to live out these alternate lives to see how things might have turned out if she'd made different decisions.

The book is really about dealing with regret and understanding that life is full of possibilities. Through Nora's journey, the story shows that no life is perfect, and it's okay to have made mistakes. The author, Matt Haig, uses this adventure to teach us that it's not about wishing for a perfect life, but learning to accept the one we have, flaws and all.

What makes this book relatable is that we’ve all wondered "what if?" at some point, wishing we had made different choices. The story offers hope and reminds us that the life we're living is enough, even if it’s not what we expected. The idea of the Midnight Library is pretty cool, and the story lets Nora explore a lot of different versions of her life, which I know many of us have wished we could do.

In the end, The Midnight Library is uplifting and helps us see that it’s okay to embrace the life we’ve chosen, even if it’s not perfect. It’s a good book for anyone who likes stories about second chances, finding peace with yourself, and seeing the world in a different way.

Overall Verdict:
The Midnight Library is an inspiring and thoughtful read. It’s a good mix of fiction and self-help, and it encourages you to appreciate the life you’re living, no matter how imperfect it might seem. If you’re into books about personal growth and second chances, this one’s worth reading!
