"If you aim to be something you are not, you will always fail"

What happens between life and death? Emily Brontë once said that she thought of heaven being a library, filled with stories of people you could've known in a different life. Do we get to choose that life? What would it be like to try?

'The Midnight Library' is a beautiful story of a girl who felt she made all the wrong choices in life. So she decides to take her own life after a really devastating day. What happens next is the wonder that is the story.

The main character Nora came across as a person who didn't have enough support and human kindness in life, pressurized to follow a dream she didn't enjoy and cut off from people she loves the most. A common person. The book was awakening in terms of people I've come across; you never know what they go through and it's never upto us to judge anyone.

The story also made me sad in a different way. Throughout the sentences, I kept thinking; how can I help people like Nora, people who don't have a person to rely on or even talk to? So, today I'm extending an open invitation to everyone to just talk to me. You may not know me or wouldn't even remember my name, but my comments and DMs are all yours. I might not be punctual in replying, but I want to be that person you can rely on.

I'll say it now and I'll definitely say it again; the author is a freaking genius!

Heart rendering and exciting

oh lord! what did Matt Haig write? I mean the story, Nora's emotions and the way he ends the book was outstanding. it's been long since I enjoyed a magical realism book. the most special part about the story is that so many people might have said these things to us but having to live each of them gives you an experience you wouldn't forget for a long time. the narration of the audiobook was so apt and I enjoyed and understood Nora more because of such expressive narration. if you get a chance read the audiobook. even Otherwise this book is important for our lives.

Great , feel good book of a person struggling with mental health and overcoming it with her new found will to live. The writing at times seems to be more tuned for a young adult and borders on teen fiction.

Great plot and story
