Maybe in another life. Taylor Jenkins Reid. 2021.

At the age of twenty-nine, Hannah Martin still has no idea what she wants to do with her life. After leaving yet another city, Hannah moves back to her hometown of Los Angeles and take up residence in her best friend Gabby’s guest room. 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 if she wants to stay. Hannah hesitates. What happens if she leaves with Gabby? What happens if she leaves with Ethan?

In concurrent storyline’s, 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? Is there such a thing as a soul mate?

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