The book is like a "friend" who walks in on our shoulder on a day when we feel like this life is crumbling and full of regret.
The story of Nora Seed, a young woman who felt that her life was a failure, entered the Library of the Dead, where every book was an "alternative life" that she could try if she had decided on something else in the past.
She learned that there is no perfect life, and sometimes the regret of the past is just an illusion that we create to hurt ourselves. This book does not teach us to go back to the past, but it teaches us to "love" the present we have, even though it may not be the most perfect life.

Every choice has a price to pay: although we want to go back in time to choose what we think is better, every choice of life always has something to trade for; no kind of happiness is without suffering.
Regret is a double-edged sword: The vigil asks himself: "If I do that..."It doesn't help make life better, but accepting and learning from the present is the only way to grow.
The Definition of "Good Life": The Most Valuable Life, Probably Not the Most Successful Life by Social Standards, But the Life We Have Utterly Used It and Enjoyed the Small Things We Already Have
