My favorite book made me cry my eyes out.

My favorite book makes me cry everytime i think about it.

Midnight Library is one of those books that i reccomend everyone read at least once in their life. It will effect every person differently and honestly some people might not love it as much as i do and thats totally fine. I think it impacts people dfiferently depening on a few factos like childhood and current state of mind.

This book broke me into pieces and then put me back together in a way that still changes the way i view things. It quite literally changed my life.

A little context into why this book changed my life:

At the time i first read this my son was about 1 years old. I wasnt working, i never went to college, i read sometimes but nothing crazy, didn’t have any friends, and most importantly my mother had passed about 6 years prior. I was in a rough patch and feeling really depressed about my state of life and how i wish i could change things and have my mother with me. I kept thinking about all the things i could have done differently in life to have a better present.

Enter this book.

How this book changed my life, spoiler free.

In the midnight library the main characters has an opportunity to live out different paths of her life in the search of something she would prefer better than her present life. This allows her to live out what her life would look with college, with that one boy, with this one desision. At any time she felt the life wasnt as she expected she would get to chose something else. Each life she thought would be better just had different problems and in the end she decides that her own life was worth it. All the imperfections added up to her ideal life and she didnt realize this until seeing the grass on the other side.

This book made me sob. I was bawling my eyes out in the middle of this book because my whole life had been a series of similar thoughts. “what if my brother didnt die whenevr i was a kid?” “ what if i didnt skip school bc of bullies, would i have gone to foster care?” “What if i stayed the night that night, would my mom still be around to meet my son?”

The list went on and on and on. But i’ve come to realize that i wouldnt be in the best relationship of my life with the cutest little boy if anything in my past had gone differently.

This book changed my life and i still feel like crying reading through these quotes again. It will always hold a special place in my life.
