Nora's mental health is rapidly declining. Everything seems to be going wrong. Her job, her love life, her family, her friends, her cat. Everything is in a downward spiral. With no hope or will to live, she decides to end it. It's 00:00:00 in the Midnight Library, and her elementary school librarian Mrs. Elm is her guide. She has an infinite number of parallel universe lives to choose from - but will any of them change her will to live? This book is phenomenal. I think that it describes her suicidal ideation and attempt very appropriately. Others with mental illness could probably relate to this book as much as did. borrowed the Kindle version of this book from Libby, but it is easily one of my favorite books have ever read so will definitely be purchasing a copy of this in the future.

this was the staff book club pick for may, and I actually finished it!! God I will never stop thinking about this book. gonna copy and paste my review from the book club on fable for now :)
--
me? finishing a book club book AND remembering to review it? I loved this book with all my heart, despite it absolutely wrecking it. Nora as a character was so complex and real, like I was looking at a real person while reading it. one of my favorite reads of 2024 so far. and despite all the beautiful original quotes and philosophy quotes, my favorite one is early in the book, and the first thing I tabbed
" 'Because, Nora, sometimes the only way to learn is to *live*'
'Sounds hard.' "
