This was WONDERFUL. As someone who has had experience of mental health issues, this was an intriguing premise and will definitely change the way I look at my life.

Everyone lives with regret. Some huge decisions, some minor. But they are there. I have recently experienced a family bereavement and my regret of how I dealt with that person in the years before they

WOW. I don't know what I expected, but this audiobook was the right book at the right time. I'd been feeling really low for weeks and this almost served as more self-help than fiction, lol. I wish there had been less cat death/talk of cat death in it because that's a major trigger for me, but in all other ways this book...Really helped me. I even cried at it, felt things. Carey Mulligan's beautiful narration was the icing on the cake. ...more

3.5 stars. I loved the concept, thought the execution was decent. But man, were the first few chapters a real bummer. I wouldn't recommend you read it during a particularly sensitive/depressing time in your life. Very easy read otherwise and finished it in under two days. ...more

¿Existe una antesala de la muerte? Es decir, un lugar metafórico o astral donde reside nuestra conciencia antes de la muerte misma. Si tal lugar existe, ¿cómo es? La biblioteca de la medianoche es ese lugar que sirve como transición entre la vida y la muerte. El reloj se detiene a las 00:00 hrs, y los libros muestran todas las posibles vidas del visitante, y al tomar un libro, puede leerlo y vivirlo, como una especie de evaluación de sus decisiones.

Espérenme que voy y lloro un poco y luego vengo y escribo la reseña.

Update 09/05:

Loved the writing style of this and how it showcases some profound thoughts wrapped neatly in a digestible manner!
For sure something that I would re-read many times over and gain new insights with each reading.
