Book Review

Full Review

The Midnight Library tells the story of Nora Seed, a woman trapped in despair who discovers a mystical library between life and death. Each book in this library represents a different life she could have lived — a different set of choices.

Matt Haig masterfully blends philosophy and fiction, guiding readers through themes of mental health, purpose, and possibility. Nora’s emotional arc is both painful and uplifting, and the book’s simple prose hides deep meaning.

While some might find the plot predictable or overly tidy, its sincerity and accessible message make it a powerful read. Highly recommended for anyone reflecting on life’s "what ifs".
