About this listen

One choice. Two different paths - with stunningly different results. From the bestselling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.

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 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 her friend 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 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.

"Entertaining and unpredictable; Reid makes a compelling argument for happiness in every life." Kirkus (starred review)

Great story +++

Great story - similar to the film "Sliding Doors" where a different action in time changes your life trajectory. I enjoyed how most of the main characters were mentioned in both story lines.
I found the stories easy to follow even though they were in alternate chapters.
I'm currently reading another of this author's books and am totally engrossed in it :)

If life gives you lemons make lemonade

Intriguing premise that insinuates there could be good and bad consequences for life’s decision making. Apparently not. Too sugary sweet for me.

good but not great

This was my least favourite Taylor Jenkins Reid book. I didn't think I'd ever rate one of her books a 3 stars but here we are. It just didn't hold my attention like the others have and I didn't like the main character that much.
I did like the ending, not as predictable as I thought it would be. I wasn't sure what guy I was rooting for - Ethan or Henry - and it turned out ok.

Terrible male voices.

The story was okay, but I was put off by the narrator's male voices. Made the characters sound very unattractive.

Julia Whelan is Phenomenal

I’m not usually into sugary love stories, but this one just made me smile so many times and left me on a high.
And cmon, is there anyone with a more fabulous voice than Julia Whelan? She’s just incredible

Wonderful story.

Loved this book, engaging and easy to listen to and just wonderful. My only negative was I feel it could have been longer and towards the end it felt a little rushed.

Need some different male voices

The story line was good . More than one reader is needed . As all the men sounded the same .
