Maybe in Another Life

By: Taylor Jenkins Reid

Narrated by: Julia Whelan

From the New York Times best-selling author of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo; now with a bonus conversation with Julia Whelan and Taylor Jenkins Reid, recorded exclusively for this edition.

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 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.

hmmmm.... not sure what I think

this one has me going hmmm, not sure what I think. I just know the discussion of cinnamon buns was way overused. I liked it up to the end and I really can't figure out what I think. Different

Another great story!

I loved the premise of this book and I couldn’t stop listening! The narration was excellent too!

I loved this book!

I loved everything about this book. I loved the parallel story lines and the relationships between characters. Everything about this book was entertaining. Julia Whelan narrates perfectly. 💖

Cinnamon Roll

There are probably cinnamon roll bakers who’ve uttered the words “cinnamon roll” less frequently than it is mentioned in this book. I enjoyed the book otherwise.

Not one of my favorites by TJR but still good!

Love anything Julia reads but it was a little hard at first to keep the story lines straight when they would switch. definitely a cute take on the multiverse!

Julia Whelan is the best

The story was great but Julia makes any book that much better. Definitely worth the credit!

Excellent Story

This story was very well written - had me hooked from the beginning to the end!

Loved it

If you like her other books you’ll love this too! Julia Whelan is the best narrator in the business, I’ll listen to anything she does.

Loved it

I often think about how my life would be different if I made different decisions, and it makes me sad. But this book is a reminder that no matter which life you live, things will work out how they’re meant to. Parallel story lines can be confusing but this is pretty easy to follow and has such a good story. I recommend this book to everyone

did I already listen to this?

I am not through the book yet but feel like I have heard this book before. I'll continue listen because I paid for it. I cannot help but wonder if this book was already in my library under a different name, wondering if thats the reason audible would have had me pay again for the same book.
