First book of 2025

Well, that's the first book of 2025 read.

The Midnight Library, by Matt Haig.

This story takes us on a journey with the main character, Nora, who, after deciding to end her own life, feeling worthless and unloved, she turns up at a stage between life and death - in the Midnight Library, run by Nora's childhood teacher, the wonderful Mrs. Elm.
Unlike your average library, the books on these shelves contain all the possible lives Nora could have lived if she had made different decisions throughout her life. There are millions of books, which contain the lives she could have lived, just by making different decisions. She is allowed to choose from her 'Book of Regrets' which lives she would like to have a glimpse of, and is able to live a part of some of those lives, gradually working out that, like many people, we try to be like others, rather than just being happy with ourselves.  
A good story with a good message.
