I fell into listening to The Midnight Library. I had heard of the Author but knew had not read this book description. This book deserves my 5-star rating.
We follow the trials & disappointments of Nora and her life filled with guilt. Matt Haig reminds us that even a ‘perfect life’ has some regrets. I have never read a clearer or more straightforward depiction of how anxiety, depression or thoughts of suicide can overtake your everyday thinking.
Choose one thing every day to celebrate; some days, choose two because there will always be days that you are unable to choose any.
“The game is never over until it is over. It isn’t over if there is a single pawn still on the board.”
