**Plot:**
> In “The Midnight Library,” Nora Seed finds herself in a library between life and death with the chance to experience all the potential lives she could have lived. The story serves as allegorical exploration of mental health, focusing on depression, suicide and regret.
I loved this book! I think Pugh will be a great choice, since I think she can grapple with portraying mental illness very well.
Also the general storyline can be “fun” with the post-modern, alternative timelines explorations. I don’t think this will be a Blockbuster but if done well, I think it could be a really good movie.
Seems like the perfect team for a very broad audienced tear-jerker.
Enjoyed the book a lot but it feels way less original now than when it first came out – have seen a number of more exciting genre bending takes on the same plot since, so let’s see how this shakes out.
