The Midnight Library: A GMA Book Club Pick (A Novel)

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?

This book is great for discussion or self reflection and discovery.

It's abt a girl who uses the parallel universe to live inifinite diff versions of her life bc she wasn't happy w/ her original one and trying to pick the perfect one. Kinda got repetitive for me tho, bc it's mostly just her experiencing diff lives, each for like 10 pages or so and then changes to another one. Which is why it was somewhat interesting but overall I was like okay when is she finally going to decide. But it has good life lessons
