This book is a rollercoaster of emotions. I know that this may sound weird, but reading this book makes you think about the purpose of life and the mysteries of the universe. And no, this is not a self-help book. The way Matt Haig combines fiction with real science is amazing.

So, Nora is in a limbo... she is between life and death and she has infinite possibilities to return to life. Every book in this library, that is Nora's limbo, is a different timeline: every choice that Nora took, every path that she decided to follow, left another one that opened a different future that Nora would never lived... until now. In this library Nora can take a peek into every single book that symbolizes her different timelines.

This book got me thinking: would this be a good thing? Would we like to know what your different timelines would bring us? Are we, really, enjoying this life? Living it the best we possibly can?

So many questions without answers...
