#### The Midnight Library by Matt Haig.

In this story we meet Nora.  She’s not in a good place, in fact she’s in a very bad place.  Her life seems to be just one long series of regrets.  She decides things must change and takes drastic action, the outcome from which isn’t quite what she expected.

Nora finds herself in a situation where she gets to experience the alternative lives she might have lived if she’d made different decisions.  She is then given the chance to choose which life she wants to live.  The question is, which one will she choose?

This one is for anyone who’s ever bogged themselves down in regrets and truly believes that things would be perfect if only they’d made a different decision.

This book is a perfect example of how powerful literature can be.  It’s quite possibly life changing!   Can’t recommend highly enough...for anyone!
