Somewhere between life and death is a place of choice. A place to decide whether the regrets that dwell deep in the heart are worth trying to correct....to see if life could be different .. better. For Nora, her regrets are many, and life is not worth living. Who would miss her? Who would care?

Nora is tired, makes a decision to end that tiredness, and ends up at the Midnight Library. The library is her place of alternate and infinite lives and will stay in place as long as she is between life and death. Faced with her Book of Regrets, she has to choose...find a life within these infinite choices and live .. or let it go and pass on.

What a beautifully written book. I love books that have a way of immersing me into the story...so much so that I lose track of time. I may be done with this story but I definitely haven't stopped thinking about it.

I'm sure many of us have regrets we wish we could go back and change. If we did...would that change the course of everything as we currently see it? Would it change the important things that have come from it? It's about choices...decisions and irreversible movements.

After reading this, it certainly made me think about my past. While there are certain aspects of my life I regret, I realize I wouldn't go back and change it. There is so much that has come from my path (both good and bad) which I would lose if that path was tampered with. I would rather have gone through what I did, than to tempt fate and risk losing what I have now.

What an absolutely amazing read. Definitely recommend this one.
