Which life is worth living?

4 stars

What if you could know which path your life would have taken if you had made other choices?

Every little decision you make can lead to a slightly different outcome or could alter your life completely.

There are infinite possible lives – but which one ist the „right“ one? And how would you know?

These are the questions Nora has to ask herself when she finds herself between life and death after a suicide attempt.

The huge Midnight Library contains all of her possible lives - each one as a book.

At first, when I started reading it, I wasn't sure if I would like the story. But the more I progressed, the more it became a page-turner.

Philosophical and spiritual, makes you think.

And though I am not a native speaker, I found the book easy to read in english.
