While the Midnight Library isn't the normal book I would choose to read now that I have read it. I was enthralled by the cover and the summary of the content I heard: someone being able to live an infinity of lives through books in a library. It wasn't what I expected, it was a thousand times better, not perfect and worth my five stars (maybe I'll changd my mind after a reread), but still so so good. Living these lives with Nora Seed, questioning our regrets while she can actually redo them, questioning the way of life... It was refreshing and a learning experience all the same. I would love to read this book again. It was great. Life isn't just happy moments, but hard as well, it's not about being perfect, it's about living, finding your moments and people and things you enjoy to do.
This book showed me that the little things are as important as the big and that it is okay to aim low as well, as long as you continue to aim and not give up. Doing something badly is better than not doing it at all!
