This was the second book I read on my second honeymoon. It is a very unique concept - a library with an infinite number of books, each telling your life story if you made a different choice at any point in your life.
This story chronicles Nora, who tries taking her own life. As she approaches death, she enters the midnight library, where she reads about different lives - if she married her long-term boyfriend, if she traveled with a friend, if she stayed in a band, if she dated a different guy, if she pursed swimming (which she excelled at). She finds that while some stories bring happiness, there can be unexpected lows leaving her wanting more. She keeps reading, trying to find the answer.
Like I said, this is a very unique concept, and something everyone probably day dreams about every now and then. The book was darker than I expected and frankly not really a light read on the beach. But, it was interesting.
My rating for The Midnight Library: 3 stars out of 5. Get it here!
