Nora has recently lost a lot -- including her cat, partner, best friend, and job, to name a few -- and concludes her life has too many regrets to bear. Between life and death she arrives at The Midnight Library, which catalogs all the other lives she might have lived differently in each of the books on its shelves. In this predictable, moralizing novel, Nora explores all the lives she might have lived; she faces each of her regrets and in the process discovers what makes her life worth living.
