Regret. It is powerful and can make you choose unwisely. There is regret and bad choices aplenty in this modern age Bedford Falls like locale where Nora Seed finds herself at The loosest of ends before finding herself back with her grade school librarian looking for just the right life.
Of course, you may know where that journey ends but author Matt Haig in The Midnight Library. has created some realistic scenarios that Nora has to work herself through before coming to the ultimate realization at the end.
This book is probably on the cusp of teen lit but it is good for anybody who has honestly asked the question What If?
To pair with this novel, I would suggest going to your local bottle shop and randomly picking beers. That way you can see how a throw at the dartboard of life changes how you enjoy the book. Or, find a dark as midnight stout and curl up next to a New Years fireplace.
