Oh, I love this book.  I didn't think I would come across another book this good, this year. But I did!! 

 You who follow me know that I do not shy away from dark stories.  This one starts as dark as it gets. 
 
Nora is at the bottom and sees no way out but to take her own life. But instead of dying, she ends up in the Midnight Library. 

The library contains all her possible lives and what follows is a way up for Nora and a general celebration of LIFE.

 Nora gets the chance to try to fix all her regrets and she experiences things she has never even dared to dream about.  Psychologically, this leads to Nora regaining her desire for life.

 I love this book!  The depth, the psychology, the way to describe the path from the bottom back to life.

The story is narrated by Carrey Mulligan who makes a perfect Nora! Thank you! ❤️
