The Midnight Library

The protagonist dies, she kills herself. Then she is taken to a limbo-like place where you can live your life again, starting from any point way want, and making different decisions.

There are infinite possibilities, the book makes it very clear the ~6(?) ones it will focus on.

I could comment on the merits of the idea, the wisdom of the author in reflecting the paths she choose and the consequences. I already know how this will play out, because it is a standard kind of plot. The protagonist will make every possible decision and in the end she will realize that no matter what she does, her her original life was the better one.

But regardless of that, this is just a very boring book. It's like a “Groundhog Day” time loop, except the base “day” for the loop is a boring story, and every other variation is boring as well.

Of course by boring I mean there isn't anything I like. No brainiac moves, no fantasy, no cool science fiction. Its just a woman, talking about her life. Her love affairs, her family, her work.
