The Midnight Library was fewer than 300 pages but somehow felt longer, like parts were drawn out more than they needed to be at times. Still, I enjoyed this book, which sees Nora Seed experiencing all the lives she could have had if she had made different decisions. Quantum physics and string theory and all that. In the process of exploring those other lives (via the Midnight Library), she regains her will to live. Content Warning: suicidal ideation and attempt.
3.5 stars. I liked this book, but sometimes I felt like maybe we didn't need to see every single life she could have had, however briefly we saw them. I started to get a little bit lost among them.
