Review: Everything we do can change the course of our lives. - At first this was sad, but by the end of the first chapter, it hooked me when after she tries to kill herself she discovers, "There's another place to go, and it's not some mythical after life." What if a lot of books, endless books of us, existed on our just making one different choice and it changed everything. What if we crossed a street at a certain time and met the love of your life, but what if you ignored him that day. It's all in here... What if we followed through on our childhood dream but realized it was only to get a parents approval, and you found out, it didn't make a difference anyway because other people aren't controlled by us and their lives and issues would have existed anyway... What if we followed any of the dreams we had of becoming, when we grew up, as a child, if we knew ahead of time what the outcome would be, would we choose another ending, or would we hold on to the life we have because every day we can decide to change just one thing and have a totally different life outcome than the one we have now. This was inspiring, and life changing in how it really made me rethink what I thought I knew.. What if we had made one simple change in our current life and we began to see we matter. Every person we touch, every word we say, every kind thing we do for others all does matter, and may have changed their lives, or saved them. Every day is precious and matters because we're here. In the end, as long as you have any time left, you can still make dreams come true and make it the life you want, or change someone else's life. Life affirming, and deep, this book will make you think, and see your existence matters more than you imagined, because of the lives you touched and may still touch yet. A great read, and a deep dive into our own "what if"..then read it again. I promise you'll think about this book for a very long time after you read it. BTW, it has a great unexpected ending.
Review: Thought provoking story. - "The Midnight Library" is one of those books that really "hit home" the older I get and the more regrets I have. What if there was a way to undo your regrets? What would your life look like? This story follows a MFC named Nora who gets the opportunity to see how her life could be if she had made different choices. Matt Haig is a talented author that brings out deep emotions in his readers. If you have ever read any of his other books, "The Midnight Library" has the same kind of emotional depth as his other works. I ordered the hardcover and it was delivered in perfect condition. No bent or dented edges, which seems to be rare from desertcart book deliveries in my personal experience. It is a fairly quick read being only 288 pages. For a book that is not my genre of choice, I found it to be a pretty nice read.
