Raegan Revord reflects on Matt Haig's The Midnight Library and how it explores choice, fate, and consequences. The book taught her that inaction is still a choice, and that every decision leads somewhere unpredictable. She considers how protagonist Nora's journey changed the way she thinks about living.

Well, that you can choose choices but not outcomes. But I stand by what I said. It was a good choice. It just wasn't a desired outcome. Love that. That kind of goes back to how we were talking about fate and, like, it being written.
That you can be okay with it.
Yeah.
And it's a learning experience. Like, you learn something, it wasn't for nothing, right?
Yeah. I mean, this whole book is about how Nora would choose something in her life, and you obviously don't know. It's kind of like the butterfly effect. You do something, you don't know what's gonna happen, you don't know where that's gonna go. But you can't not make a choice in life. No matter what, you're always gonna choose something, even if you choose not to do anything.
Yeah. The most dangerous thing would be to be indifferent.
