Book Review: The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
Do you ever wonder about the road not taken? The decisions you’ve made throughout your life, and how different your world could be if you had chosen differently? The Midnight Library by Matt Haig explores this concept beautifully, blending thought-provoking philosophy with an engaging narrative.
About the Book: Nora Seed finds herself in a unique and mysterious library between life and death, where each book represents a different version of her life, had she made different choices. With the help of the librarian, Mrs. Elm, Nora can step into these alternate realities and see how her life could have unfolded.
This novel delves into themes of regret, self-worth, and the importance of embracing who we are. It’s a reminder that even when life seems hard, there’s always the potential to find new meaning and happiness in unexpected places.
Excerpt from Chapter 10: "Nora opened the book, not sure what she expected. The first page was blank, as was the second. Her heart sank, but then, on the third page, there were words. 'What if you hadn’t given up on music?' it read. Her breath caught in her throat. She had once dreamed of being a famous musician, but life had steered her elsewhere. Now, as she stood in the Midnight Library, facing the choices she’d never made, the possibility of that dream seemed both far away and tantalizingly close."
Why You Should Read This Book: The Midnight Library offers an emotional, heartfelt journey through Nora’s exploration of her life’s ‘what-ifs.’ It’s a celebration of second chances and the realization that every life—no matter how small or ordinary—holds meaning. If you’re looking for a story that will make you reflect on your own choices, this book is definitely worth a read.
