The Midnight Library

Nora Seed hates her life. She has no job. She has no friends. Her only family, her brother, is estranged from her. And now even her cat is dead.

Nora decides to die. She takes the tables. She finishes the wine. She falls asleep and...

...she wakes up in the Midnight Library. She's not alive. She's not dead. Her old school librarian (!) is there to help her figure out things, to experience a life without the regrets she has, and all Nora has to do is choose a book and open it and her new, better life will begin....

My favorite book of the year. Probably not the most literary. Probably not the most perfect. But the wisest book I've read this year, a book can't help itself from helping everyone who reads it.
