REVIEW
Have you ever wished you could relive key moments in your life? After you’ve committed suicide? That’s the premise of this novel. Nora is deeply depressed and disappointed in life. She overdosed, but finds herself in a place called The Midnight Library. Mrs. Elm, the librarian, tells her each book in the library represents a key moment in her life. Nora must go through her life all over again, but what would she change? Would she change everything, and how would things be different for her? This is a book that I read with a great deal of things on my mind, and it blew my mind. I loved Nora and am excited to recommend this book to anyone with an open mind and a restless spirit.
