Definitely makes you think about how one different choice could change your entire life.

I probably would say more 3.5 starsThe Midnight Library was a thoughtful and unique read that was very different from the kinds of books I normally gravitate toward. While it starts off a little depressing, it quickly becomes an enjoyable story that makes you think about life, regrets, and the choices we make.The short chapters helped me get through some of the boring parts in the beginning. Nora was a decent main characterMy favorite part of the book was the game, which was such a sweet and meaningful moment as Nora experienced another possible life.More than anything, this book left me thinking about my own life. It makes you wonder what would happen if you could revisit your biggest regrets and choose a different path. The ending wrapped everything up well and felt satisfying.
