Nora feels that the death of her cat is the final event in her life proving that she is a failure. She also has decided that today is the day to die, and commits suicide. She finds herself in a Library where Mrs. Elm an elderly Librarian she befriended as a child tells her that she is between life and death. She has a limited amount of time to find a life she would like to choose or she would indeed die.
Looking through a volume titled Book of Regrets, she finds the points in her 'root' life where she has made decisions leading to her final fate. Picking up further volumes she finds herself at points in her life where they diverted from what she had done and must decide if this is the life that will make her happy. In a way, this reminded me of the series Quantum Leap as Nora, like Sam, has replaced a version of herself, with no real knowledge of the life she is now living. Had she continued to spend her life as a musician, Olympic swimmer, scientist, or some other goal she had never achieved?
We have all had to make choices in our lives and certainly all have a 'Book of Regrets' we could look back on.
