Staff Reviews
Have you ever wondered what your life might look like if you made a different choice? Took another path? That is exactly what happens to Nora Seed in the Midnight Library. Filled with regret and convinced that every decision she’s made has been the wrong one, Nora reaches her breaking point. But instead of the end Nora finds herself in a mysterious realm between life and death - a magical library where every boo holds a different version of her life, each one shaped by a different life choice she could have made. I loved this book! It reminded me of my favorite movie, It’s a Wonderful Life - touching on themes such as how our choices shape us, what makes life meaningful and the importance of being present and true to yourself. A must-read before Matt Haig’s next book, The Midnight Train, publishing late May.
