About the Book

Between life and death there is a library, and within that library, the shelves go on forever. Every book provides a chance to try another life you could have lived. To see how things would be if you had made other choices... Would you have done anything different, if you had the chance to undo your regrets? A dazzling novel about all the choices that go into a life well lived, from the internationally bestselling author of Reasons to Stay Alive and How To Stop Time. Somewhere out beyond the edge of the universe there is a library that contains an infinite number of books, each one the story of another reality. One tells the story of your life as it is, along with another book for the other life you could have lived if you had made a different choice at any point in your life. While we all wonder how our lives might have been, what if you had the chance to go to the library and see for yourself? Would any of these other lives truly be better?

I absolutely loved the concept of this book! The idea of a library between life and death where you can experience different versions of your life is so thought-provoking.

I agree! It really makes you think about all the choices you've made in life and how they've shaped who you are.

The character development in this book was phenomenal. I felt like I was on the journey with Nora, experiencing all her emotions and revelations.
