June Book Club: The Midnight Library by Matt Haig

 

5 Stars | Matt Haig | 2020 | Fantasy Fiction | 304 pages | 9 Hours Audio 

I was not sure if I was going to like this book but it turned out to be a very encouraging story for me. I might even say it was therapeutic. 

It starts with our main character, Nora, feeling like her life is on a track to nowhere and so she takes matters into her own hands to end her life. When she awakes she finds herself in a library full of green books. The librarian in charge turns out to be the same one from her school days. She tells her that all of the books are different versions of Nora's life and she has the opportunity to try them out and pick the best one. The story continues as you explore all of the different life possibilities. 

This is a quick read and but even though it sounds like it could be sad, it is really an uplifting read. There were some lessons that Nora learned that were things that I needed to hear as well. Maybe we all need to be reminded that even though the choices we have are infinite in life, we are where we are supposed to be.  I enjoyed it a lot and give it 5 stars!
