Somewhere out beyond the edge of the universe there is a library that contains an infinite number of books, each one the story of another reality. One tells the story of your life as it is, along with another book for the other life you could have lived if you had made a different choice at any point in your life. While we all wonder how our lives might have been, what if you had the chance to go to the library and see for yourself? Would any of these other lives truly be better?

In The Midnight Library, Matt Haig's enchanting blockbuster novel, Nora Seed finds herself faced with this decision. Faced with the possibility of changing her life for a new one, following a different career, undoing old breakups, realizing her dreams of becoming a glaciologist; she must search within herself as she travels through the Midnight Library to decide what is truly fulfilling in life, and what makes it worth living in the first place.

Life changing! Brilliant!

I’m overwhelmed with this one! It was brilliant. I think my perspective on life has been forever changed. That may be a bit dramatic, but for someone who has dealt with depression and anxiety, to read/listen to these truths manifested in a story, is just life altering! Bravo!

predictable, boring. great performance though!

This story was so predictable, the main character so boring. I had high expectations for the book because the idea could be elaborated on in so many ways. It was endlessly predictable and there were utterly no surprises

Love it! Book of regrets

It was slow to start but I’ve always wondered what my life would be if I made one small different choice. This was a very thought provoking book. Descriptions are perfect! I just enjoyed it.

interesting to contemplate

really enjoyed this book, it just could have been about 30% shorter and would not have compromised anything.

Stick with it and you will be pleasantly surprised

The Midnight Library is a bit slow in the beginning, but then it picks up and gets very adventurous. It was truly enjoyable to listen to and follow Norah Seed through her quest to find the true meaning of living. Happy reading!💕📚
