Reminiscent of the movie "It's A Wonderful Life," except instead of only experiencing one alternative, the protagonist experiences many. It does get a bit preachy, but so did "It's A Wonderful Life."

I liked the concept of the Midnight Library itself. That was very intriguing.
As I write this, I don’t know if I had a definitive problem with the story or if I just didn’t care for the book. There was something about the way in which the depiction of suicide and its aftermath gave me pause. I don’t know if I can put that into words.
At the end of the day, it was not my favorite.
