The Midnight Library by Matt Haig

Between life and death there is a library. When Nora Seed finds herself in the Midnight Library, she has a chance to change her life of misery and regret. The books in the Library enable Nora to live as if she had done things differently. But her choices place the Library and herself in extreme danger. Before time runs out, she must answer the ultimate question: what is the best way to live?
