Summary
From the acclaimed author of Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo comes a breathtaking novel about a young woman whose fate hinges on the choice she makes after bumping into an old flame; in alternating chapters, we see two possible scenarios unfold—with stunningly different results.
At the age of 29, Hannah Martin still has no idea what she wants to do with her life. She has lived in six different cities and held countless jobs since graduating college. On the heels of leaving another city, Hannah moves back to her hometown of Los Angeles and takes up residence with her best friend, Gabby. Shortly after, Hannah goes out to a bar one night with Gabby and meets up with her high school boyfriend, Ethan.
Just after midnight, Gabby asks Hannah if she’s ready to go. A moment later, Ethan offers to give her a ride later if she wants to stay. Hannah hesitates. What happens if she leaves with Gabby? What happens if she leaves with Ethan?
In concurrent story lines, Hannah lives out the effects of each decision. Quickly, these parallel universes develop into radically different stories with large-scale consequences for Hannah, as well as the people around her. As the two alternate realities run their course, Maybe in Another Life raises questions about fate and true love: is anything meant to be? Is there such a thing as a soul mate? Hannah believes there is. And, in both worlds, she’s found him.

Awesome novel
Compelling story or, more accurately, stories. Parallel universes...Definitely makes you think, and feel. Recommended. Excellent.

Not the best storyline
When you become invested in a storyline and the ending really bugs you The narrative was all about pre accident and after This love of her life just did a tailspin because she discovered she was pregnant l didn't find that plausible or just falling for a nurse Then the two endings Big parties Everyone is happy Choose a husband like Choose a family She discarded her own for moving to dreary London So l felt deflated and disappointed with this story

A good listen but:
Overall I enjoyed the story and found myself drawn into the lives of Hannah, Gabby, Ethan,& Charlamaine however some things grated:
1: the male voices- they were truly terrible sounding like Grandpa Simpson in all cases. 2: the way it was implied that it rains ALL the time in the Uk it was ok to mention it once but it was mentioned every time London was spoken about.
3: if there really is such a person as “The One” then shouldn’t Hannah have finished up with the same guy in both scenarios like Gabby did?
4: I agree with other reviews of the overuse of Cinnamon rolls “Cinnamon rolls were the main character” 🤣
On the whole it was a light enjoyable, passes the time sort of read. I may listen to it again, or I may not…

Bit boring
No major plot twists, quite a bland read! The amount they go on about cinnamon rolls - annoying!!!

Well Done, Ms. Reid, Very Well Done
I finished the book 2 weeks ago, and was unsure if I'd enjoyed it or not.
In that time I have been jolted into the realisation that a book which is so thought provoking, and keeps popping around in my head is, indeed, one worthy of a fine review.
I had not read a review of the book, had no idea what I was to read so was left wondering from the start if the recording was faulty. Without entering the realm of 'spoilers', all I will say is listen carefully throughout, in the certain knowledge that at no point has the recording gone wrong at all.
Essentially a romance but without the sugar coating. It is honest, warm and tells not one, but two stories of Hannah in the search for stability and love, the stunning relationship she has with her closest friend Gabby and the intense unfolding of their lives.
This is an imaginative book, and a quite powerful tale told in two scenarios.
Those interested in the meta-universe will rub their hands in glee.
Another winner from a clever, innovative writer who tells her tales with aplomb - as I learned from her acclaimed "The Seven Husbands of Evelyne Hugo" and "Daisy and the Seven".
Congratulations, Taylor Jenkins Reid, well done, very well done, indeed

If I have to hear the words Cinnamon Roll again…
Liking a specific type of food is not a personality trait and it definitely doesn’t need to be mentioned as many times as it does in this book.
Cinnamon rolls are the main character and things just happen around them. Super disappointing when her other books are so good.

An easy listen - if you like chick lit
I’ve listened to Daisy and the Six and Malibu Rising and really enjoyed them - so was expecting a similar vibe - however this book is a bit different and is a little on the cheesy side. It was a pleasant enough listen- I liked the characters and was intrigued as to where the story line was going - but it didn’t quite end up being what I’d hoped for. But I’m sure many will love it and if romance novels is your vibe then I recommend.
