You are not behind. You are not a sum of every decision you wish you could take back. In this episode, Coralyn, Jamie, and Jessica get into something most women carry quietly — the book of regrets…
Jessica SmithHostJamieHostIt's called "The Midnight Library," and it's a great read.
And so without...
And I'm not gonna spoil the ending, but we'll talk a little bit about some points in the book that I feel like it would be fun for you guys to, to go through.
She is just in the swamps of sadness.
Her life sucks, per her, and she decides that maybe she wants to end her life prematurely, right? And so she wakes up in this-- So she does this.
She takes a bunch of pills, and she [lip smack] wakes up in this midnight library.
So it's kind of like a purgatory type of a situation or something, wherever she's at.
But she's in this library where it's a whole library full of all of her life choices.
So an infinite amount of books where if she would've made one other decision in life, your-- this is the way that your life would go.
If I would've talked to that guy at the coffee shop, if I would've pursued athletics harder in high school, if I would've [lip smack] got that job versus the other job.
And so the whole book is talking about how sometimes we have regrets in life, and then thinking about how you go back in time and maybe you daydream about how you think your life would be better if you would've made that decision better, or if life would've happened in a little different way.
How does that play out in reality? So [chuckles] this is what we're gonna talk about today.
It's, it's crazy.
And it's, it actually is a f- it's kind of funny, like there's different things that happen, and you kinda get to know some of the characters in the book.
So it's n- just not about this, about this girl, but you kinda...
It's a good read.
So if you're looking for a good read-
