"Her mind felt loud, like a Sturm und Drag symphony, as if the ghost of a German composer was trapped inside her mind, conjuring chaos and intensity." It's not overly descriptive, but it gives you enough to paint an image in your mind. The pacing in this book worked well - not too fast, not too slow. But if you've felt lost before, you'll understand it, and for that reason the lessons learned are even more comforting. The best I could describe it was the fear that I was missing out on other lives I wasn't living. If you've ever felt lost like this, so have I, and so has Nora. When I was younger, I always felt a longing that was hard to put into words. Nora is ready to kill herself. She OD’s. But, between life and death she visits the midnight library and lives multiple lives across parallel universes. Like many of us, she’s looking for the right life to live.
