The Midnight Library
I recently decided to be more harsh on my ratings, and in that mindset, this book still earns my five stars. The book navigates the topics of suicide and regret tastefully and masterfully. Nora is backed into a corner, an impossible situation, and somehow stays completely relatable in her journey. Hard to give a review that does the book justice without giving any spoilers. but let me just say "Its not what you look at that matters, its what you see."
