Book Review // Maybe In Another Life

Rating: 4/5

Synopsis:
"At the age of twenty-nine, Hannah Martin still has no idea what she wants to do with her life. She has lived in six different cities and held countless meaningless jobs since graduating college. On the heels of leaving yet another city, Hannah moves back to her hometown of Los Angeles and takes up residence in her best friend Gabby’s guestroom. Shortly after getting back to town, 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 storylines, 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? How much in our life is determined by chance? And perhaps, most compellingly: Is there such a thing as a soul mate?

Hannah believes there is. And, in both worlds, she believes she’s found him." Amazon.com

Review:
This was only my second TJR book (Evelyn Hugo was my first) and I was completely caught up in the story of Hannah Martin. It was a Sliding Doors-How To Walk Away hybrid, so if you’re familiar with both, you’ll probably guess the story outline. 

Hannah comes to a cross roads when she returns to LA after living in several places and never really know where her “home.” Her first real night back, her and best friend Gabby go to a club where Hannah meets up with her ex-boyfriend, Ethan. And from there, the story splits off, if she stayed with Ethan and if she goes home with Gabby. 

If you’ve read it, which story did you like more? I was obsessed with Henry and Hannah ❤️ Not a surprise since I loved How To Walk Away! 

I breezed eight through this one and loved every single page. It was clean! Only a few spots of language, but no sex scenes. It was light and romantic and beautiful.
