Host Kirti Mutatkar continues KBC (Kirti's Book Club) with Sarah Ahmad to discuss Matt Haig's  The Midnight Library - a novel about alternate realities and the choices that shape our lives.

About the Book

The Midnight Library by Matt Haig follows Nora Seed, a woman in her thirties who finds herself in a magical library between life and death. Each book represents a different life she could have lived based on different choices. As Nora explores these alternate realities, she discovers the weight of regret and societal expectations while searching for a life worth living. The novel explores themes of mental health, purpose, and self-acceptance.
