The Midnight Library

“The prison wasn't the place, but the perspective.”

This was a genuinely uplifting book. I loved the way the story unfolded. How we got to see Nora fall into despair and come out of it.

It talks about how regrets tie you down to people or moments you didn't get to live, decisions you wish you had made differently, friends you wish had kept in touch, the simple yet complex feeling of wanting to be a better version of yourself.

And consequently it also talks about how you can still do all of that. The impossible happens via living.

There was a lot of philosophy talk in this (Kant and Plato) - I know about them thanks to Chidi (The Good Place)
