What she learns over the course of the book is that choices have consequences that can't be precisely predicted and that some regrets are more complex than they initially appear. In a life where she married her ex-fiancé, they own a pub together and are deeply unhappy. In a life where she is stuck with competitive swimming, she is close with her brother and her father is still alive, but her mother is dead and she struggles with her mental health. However, the book complicates this idea by showing Nora taking different paths but still remaining unhappy. When she arrives at the Midnight Library, Nora is shown a book called the "Book of Regrets" which compiles the things in her life that she wishes she had handled differently. She often wonders how her life might have turned out differently had she made various other choices or taken certain risks. In the present timeline of her life, Nora is filled with regret about her various choices. Regret appears as one of The Midnight Library's main themes. ![]()
