Nora Seed decides to end her miserable life. Her life has comprised of poor decisions and haunting regrets. Instead of dying she finds herself at the Midnight Library, where a former school librarian, Mrs. Elm, awaits her. At the Midnight Library, she can choose a book which will transport her to a parallel universe where she made a different decision. She can live that life for a time and decide if she was to remain as her parallel self.
This book was intriguing and unique. It will be one I will always remember! Thankfully, my husband has his undergrad and Masters in physics and could explain a bit about quantum physics and the theory of parallel universes.
As I was reading, however, I realized I was given a picture of how people may feel about life who do not know Christ and who do not find purpose in Him. I found the philosophers quoted depressing. The theory of evolution has impacted how man views himself and life. The novel ends hopefully but the character's hope is falsely placed.
Warnings: some intense cursing (f word) at times, The following concerns are included but not graphic: Nora has sex, Nora's brother, Joe is gay and his lifestyle is commended, suicide, drug & alchohol abuse
