Reviews with content warning for Infidelity - Poate într-o altă viaţă

I guess the point is that both realities can be happening concurrently but that really stretches the boundaries of my brain function. I found myself liking one version of the story more than the other but not really loving the outcomes of either. This is not, imo, TJR’s best novel. It was cute, interesting, heart-wrenching but ultimately, just okay.

Taylor Jenkins Reid is the queen of writing timelines and perspectives. I have nearly made my way through every book she has written and you can really see her writing improve with each book she writes. I definitely enjoyed "Maybe in Another Life" and 'One True Loves more than "Forever, Interrupted" and "After I Do" but every Taylor Jenkins Reid book I consume, draws me in and provides an experience so different to the last. So far nothing has come close to Evelyn Hugo for me. That book and woman will have my heart and soul forever.

The concept for Maybe in Another Life is really interesting. I have always found the idea of alternate and parallel universes equally fascinating and completely overwhelming, so to explore that concept played out in a book was really a fun and new reading experience for me. I really loved Hannah and Gabby's friendship. I really loved Hannah and Ethan's relationship and their friendship. I really loved Hannah and Henry's relationship. I loved Carl and Tina as parents and Gabby teaching her dad about the importance of feminism and equality. There was just so much to love about this book.

I liked the concept of the story, but the end got a bit long.

working my way through TJR’s backlist and SHE CAN DO NO WRONG I SWEAR 😍😍

what I thought was going to be a light and fluffy romance turned out to be a gut-wrenching multiverse spiraling emo romance that had me bawling by the end 🥹🥹 it was absolutely so well written!

while the romance in this one didn’t consume my soul like some of her others, the back and forth element between universes had me swooning!! on her first night in LA, hannah chooses to either go out with her best friend, gabby, or go out with her former boyfriend, ethan - and the story follows both storylines in the choices she makes.

finding stories about making choices that will alter your life path is so so scary (and something I’m in the middle of right now oops), but I loved how TJR wrote this one. it was a little bit of que sera sera and a little bit of “choose your own fate” - which gives me hope for not only my future but the future of other universe mes as well

and you know the plot is good when even I couldn’t choose between golden retriever ethan and hot nurse henry 🫢 can I have both please???

don’t sleep on TJR’s backlist folks!!!!
