"Applicable to all of us, whether we are going through our worst moments or hung up on mundane regrets. A beautiful message, universal. Definitely a tear jerker. "

"Not a popular opjnion here.
Dnf! I got bored 1/4 way in. The idea is interesting but storyline is turtle pace. I was listening to the audi book, even tried speeding it up to get to the interesting part, nada.
The plot is around a woman who suicides because she was told that once you die, you go to that library with endless options, so she does because she regrets all her life. So a dark start right, then she goes there and it's blah blah blah.. boring 😴 I didn't even get to her choosing a door.

"This book is very similar to everything everywhere all at once but I feel like i wanted more. It was very good but rather short and felt like some things could have had more details but I still really enjoyed it! "

"Wow! If you have ever been overloaded with regrets in your life and the paths you took or wished you had taken, this is a great read. The Midnight Library gives our herione a chance to lead the lives she could have, had she made other decisions along the way of her life. Its very well written and is full of so many thought provoking nuggets that its a keeper for me to be read every few years to remind me of the possibilities floating around in myself.
