The Midnight Library: A GMA Book Club Pick (A Novel)

Somewhere out beyond the edge of the universe there is a library that contains an infinite number of books, each one the story of another reality. One tells the story of your life as it is, along with another book for the other life you could have lived if you had made a different choice at any point in your life. While we all wonder how our lives might have been, what if you had the chance to go to the library and see for yourself? Would any of these other lives truly be better?

It’s basically an updated take on It’s a Wonderful Life, which comes to precisely the same conclusion: The most amazing, adventuresome thing you can do is to stay put, and appreciate what you have.

I don’t quite buy it. But it was a nice read, overall.

I think that four stars might be a stretch but it is definitely more than three. The book was just fine. All around fine. Sorta predictable, but it was good. Cozy and nice. I’m not entirely sure it is worth the hype it has been getting, but I did enjoy the book a lot.

How every choice we make effects everything is a concept I ponder more often than I have ever admitted to anyone. What a thing to see all the ways a simple choice affects all the elements of your life and those around you! I found this book absolutely beautiful. I would have loved to journey with Nora through her different lives for so much longer. I love when you can’t get enough of a book and it stays with you. I know Nora, Mrs. Elm, Ash, Molly and the rest will stay with me.
Yes, it wasn’t super deep and some previous reviewers didn’t like it because it was just a soft read, but I loved that. It makes you think. It is a quantum mechanics type of thing where every part exists independently and…well just read it and decide for yourself. How many different lives are there?
