"Wow! If you have ever been overloaded with regrets in your life about the paths you took or wished you had taken, this is a great read. The Midnight Library gives our herione a chance to lead the lives she could have, had she made other decisions along the way of her life. Its very well written and is full of so many thought provoking nuggets that its a keeper for me to be read every few years to remind me of the possibilities floating around in myself."

"I really struggled with the first part of this book as it was so heartbreakingly sad that I almost stopped reading.<br/><br/>I think I deeply identified with Nora, as I am also the same age and have struggled with various unhealthy thoughts throughout my life. So I ended up deeply identifying with feeling like you've let people down or made the wrong decisions in your life. I thoroughly enjoyed it from a story and philosophical perspective.<br/><br/>Hope to revisit it at some point."
