The Midnight Library

Sci-fi/Fantasy on the subject of quantum physics might be my all time favorite book genre. This book was the British version of a Blake Crouch novel. Granted it had decidedly worse punctuation and the romance aspect was muted, but it was similar enough. Seeing as how my rating curve is practically set by Crouch, I obviously still very much enjoyed this book. It definitely should come with a trigger warning for suicide and mental illness in general. There were a lot of aspects in this book that I loved. The fact that each “slider” had their own library of sorts, the gradual change in mindset of Nora, her pauses (and judgement) after hearing the nicknames she's given in each book, her appreciation for the people in her life with smaller roles in her life at the end, the name of her job being string theory, the sass from her own mind's librarian, and the ties to philosophy throughout. Ultimately this book is about mental health and not letting regret dictate your future choices in life.
