This was an interesting book with an interesting concept. I didn’t enjoy one storyline a lot more than the other. I thought the writing was OK. It was a little boring and simple. In my opinion. The characters were OK but there was a lot of good quotes in this.

 Hannah Martin is 29 years old and has no clue what she wants to accomplish with her life. Since graduating from college, she has lived in six different locations and worked in many worthless professions. Hannah returns to her birthplace of Los Angeles after fleeing yet another location and takes up residence in her closest friend Gabby's guestroom. Hannah goes out to a club with Gabby shortly after returning to town and runs into her high school love, Ethan. 
 
Gabby asks Hannah whether she's ready to leave just after midnight. Ethan then offers to give her a ride later if she wishes to remain. Hannah pauses. What happens if she abandons Gabby? What happens if she abandons Ethan? 
 
Hannah experiences the consequences of each action in parallel tales. These parallel realities quickly transform into dramatically different storylines with far-reaching ramifications for Hannah and others around her. As the two parallel worlds play out, Maybe In Another Life explores issues about fate and genuine love: Is anything predestined? How much of our lives are decided by chance? And, perhaps most compellingly, is it possible to have a soul mate? Hannah is convinced there is. And she believes she has found him in both worlds. 
 
This book was fantastic! I think I would have appreciated it more if I hadn't been drowning in academics. Hannah had my heart in both realms, and it's no wonder that love triumphs. She deserved it the most of everyone.

It just kept getting worse! I expected the two storylines to diverge a lot more, but in the end they were almost identical. I hate stories where every single thing works out in the end, ugh. After reading the viral 3 Jenkins Reid books (which I fucking LOVED) I had some expectations, none of which were met. I deeply disliked Ethan, and I couldn't really see why Hannah and Gabby were such eternal besties. I also disliked the internalized fatphobia, and while it may have made Hannah more relatable, the way it was presented just felt like normalizing such thoughts. And don't get me started on the whole concept of soulmates and fate, another concept of this book I heavily disagree with. I only listened through the whole thing because I kept hoping it'd eventually get better, but no, it was only downhill from the beginning (the part I actually liked). Maybe romance just isn't my genre, but maybe this book could have had more depth in its characters as well.
