The Midnight Library by Matt Haig

 Never say no to a recommended book specially if it is recommended by strangers.

This one was recommended by two different people and I just looked it up in the local library and found it. It was a bit strange to go to the library with a knowledge of what you're going to pick.

This was a light read for sure. It is a story of a bad day leading to an out-worldly experiences for Nora Seed.

It was going well until the author did the Christopher Nolan hat and jumped into explaining multiverse and quantum physics. And later morphed into a lot of quotations for good life.

Positivity is never a problem and specially in a story revolving around depression and personal loss it is even better until a fictional work starts sounding like a self help book. But you can never question the author because it was not written for you.

Choice is a small word with lifelong consequences. But nobody knows the future, and we all are good at making bad choices. And it is not about choosing the education, friends, jobs, partners which play a big part but even things like what we choose as a hobby, ideas we perceive and why not even the civic duties. But the more important aspect is how we react to any outcomes of all the action/inaction in our lives.

Decent read but if you don't then you'll not miss much.

Love
