Nora has a pretty crappy life and she knows it. She suffers from "situational depression" and at some point, the situation leads her to decide to kill herself. Somehow she ends up at the midnight library, staffed by her former school librarian. At the library, she can choose any book. They are all versions of her life. She gets transported to that life and stays until she rejects it and then ends up back at the library. At first, she is not amused. She wants to dies, death is the goal, not more living. But she has regrets and is curious to see what would happen had she not done certain things. She is out there making choices about which life for quite some time. She tries out a lot of things...what if she HAD married Dan, visited her girlfriend in Australia, made it big as a rock star, ended up an Olympic athlete? She gets to test out all of these things and more. An interesting concept that is not horribly done but you should have no problem predicting the ending after about the first 20 pages.
