'The Midnight Library' by Matt Haig

In this No. 1 New York Times bestseller, British protagonist Nora Seed finds herself faced with the choices she's made over the course of her life — and the relationships she's forged (and lost) along the way — when she finds herself in a mysterious library that serves as a place between life and death.

Nora is given the opportunity to see what might be different in her life based on each choice she makes — many of which involve traveling around the world to locales including Australia and Norway — and also most decide whether she is going to live or die.
