1. Synopsis of the story

Thirty-five-year-old Nora decided to commit suicide.

She felt that her life was full of unsatisfactory and regrets, full of unfulfilled achievements and regretful choices, and no one needed her. As unfortunate events unfolded, she decided to cut herself off. At twelve o'clock in the morning on the night she made up her mind, Nora came to the border between life and death and walked into a library.

There, she was given a chance to do it all over again.

2. Impressions

There is only one life, and it is up to you to decide how to live this life to the fullest.This is a sentence that came to my mind after reading this book, from birth to death, this road is not short, it is not long. But there is one common condition:Can't do it all over again·

There will always be a bunch of multiple-choice questions waiting for you in life, and when you come to a fork in the road, you will choose to go left, right, and straight. But there is no option for you to turn back, and even if there is, you will eventually encounter a fork in the road. How to choose at this time? Everyone wants to choose a good path, and this choice is the best and most awesome choice.

But will things always go as smoothly as you think? The answer is: no.

Even if you're one of the lucky ones, you can't be in the 「life」It's the right path every time. And when we choose one of the paths and find that the results are not as expected, we will regret that we should have chosen another path in the first place, or we will find that this is not what we want! But you need to know one thing:There are some things that you can't do again once you miss them。 It may sound cliché, but it's an indisputable fact.

「Midnight Library」。 In the book, the heroine decides to commit suicide, and at that moment, she comes to the [Midnight Library] of life and death. The books placed here represent different versions of the heroine's life, where she can choose to live with someone she has not chosen once. When she experiences a different version of her life, she will return to the "Midnight Library" once she feels that it is not what she wants.

Honestly, there can be a place whether it's a library or an art museum, a place where you can store different versions of your life. When you think that the choice is not good enough, you can also go inside and experience the life you have missed, and if you are satisfied, you can stay in this life that you have missed but now has become yours.I thought: this should be the one thing that everyone aspires to.

But the more you experience, the more you lose yourself. You won't know which direction is best for you. Maybe you think it's the best option at the moment, but it ends up being the worst. I think that's where life is interesting! You don't know how old you will live, you don't know if you will become a millionaire in the future, you don't know what you will think in the next second, you don't know what the choices you make now will affect you in the future. But how determined you are in making decisions at the moment, and at the same time, you think that even if you choose the wrong one, there will be other choices to make up for it.

【make up for】. It is this act of making amends that gives us the opportunity to redeem the mistakes we have made and the things we have lost. By making up for this, even if things don't go as we expected, at least there will be a little chance to make amends!

The stories in the book are illusory, and life cannot always be a fact. But what kind of life you want to live is up to you.
