Gleich zu Anfang: Ich hatte wirklich sehr viel Freude mit dem Buch!!

Es geht um Hannah, die Zimtschnecken liebt, ein bisschen lost kst und nirgendwo richtig ankommt, sich aber nach einer gescheiterten Beziehung entscheidet, zurück nach L.A. zu ihrer besten Freundin Gabby zu ziehen. Dort trifft sie Ethan, ihre Highschool-Liebe wieder UND DANN führt eine kleine Entscheidung dazu, dass wir Hannahs Geschichte im Folgenden in 2 verschiedenen Universen verfolgen dürfen.

Das Konzept ist wirklich gut umgesetzt. Ich fand es suoer interessant, die beiden Welten parallel zu lesen, zu sehen, welche Auswirkungen eine solch banale Entscheidung hat und wie aber sich dennoch manche Dinge einfach fügen und alles kommt, wie es kommt.
Die Figuren sind auch alle soo gut geschrieben. Hannah ist so lustig, mutig, einfach zum Liebhaben. Auch die Nebenfiguren (besonders Gabby) sind einfach so toll. Es ist so wholesome alles in allem.

Der Schreibstil ist, wie ich ja bereits wusste, soo gut. Ich bin nur so durch die Seiten gefolgen. Ich mochte, dass die Kapitel so kurz und leicht zum Lesen sind. Man kommt soo schnell durch die Geschichtee. War bisschen traurig, als es vorbei war

Ich hatte so viel Spaß, musste kichern und lachen und den Kopf schütteln und hatte ab und an ein Tränchen in den Augen.
 Es war eine Freudeee. UND es ist leichte Lektüre und trotzdem irgendwie deep und nachdenklich machend zugleich. Kann ich sehr empfehlen :))

Maybe In Another Life is a Taylor Jenkins Reid novel following a woman named Hannah as she makes a choice that changes the trajectory of her life. This book follows both of those choices, whether she goes home with her friends or goes home with her ex boyfriend. 

The setting of Los Angeles was just as beautiful and idyllic as it is in real life, the weather was nice and from what we could see the places were good to visit as well.

I loved the idea of two timelines and seeing what would happen if a person makes one choice over the other. That is such a good concept and one I hope that more books will do in the future! It was nice to see certain things that happened when Hannah either got involved with Ethan or a nurse named Henry. Both men were really nice and good for Hannah so it was hard to chose which one was better! I do still wondered what happened to the sweet stray dog that Ethan and Hannah in the Henry timeline. I hoped that sweet girl was okay.  

Fate is such an interesting thing and I loved how this book talked about it. How sometimes fate can change your life or help you out in ways you never expected. Using Hannah as the person we follow and has her fate decided by one choice was a really nice and relatable idea. I love Taylor Jenkins Reid and I can't wait to read more of her books! 

TJR does it again!!!
This is NOT a romance and the best friend relationship is my favorite! Like Malibu rising, this book focuses relationships and their impact on our lives.

TJR does such a great job at writing deeply developed characters and well thought out out relationships. Everything feels so real without being mundane. Her relationship are beautifully done. 

The choose-your-own-path we needed as adults!

I really wanted to like this book, because I've lived so many of Taylor Jenkins Reid's other books, but this one didn't do it for me. It was an interesting concept, but neither storyline had a compelling-enough love interest to justify how much time we spent with them. There were way too many plot points that would have been poignant or important in one storyline that got spoiled many chapters earlier in the other plotline.

The pregnancy was revealed SO EARLY in the Henry plot and it took forever to be revealed in the Ethan plot. And then the reverse happened with the Mark cheating moment.
