From the bestselling author of the New York Times with the book "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo". Distinguished as "Best Book of the Summer" by Glamour, Good Housekeeping, Cosmopolitan, PopSugar, Bustle, and Goodreads.
From the acclaimed author of "Forever, Interrupted" and "After I Do" comes an astonishing novel about a young woman whose fate depends on the choice she makes when she encounters an old flame. In alternating chapters, we see two possible scenarios unfold, with strikingly different outcomes.
At the age of 29, Hannah Martin has no idea what she wants to do with her life. She has lived in six different cities and has worked in countless meaningless jobs since graduating from college. Shortly after leaving yet another city, Hannah returns to her hometown, Los Angeles, and stays in the room of her best friend, Gabby. Shortly after her return, Hannah goes to a bar with Gabby and encounters her ex, Ethan.
Just after midnight, Gabby asks Hannah if she’s ready to leave. A moment later, Ethan offers to take her home later if she wants to stay. Hannah hesitates. What will happen if she leaves with Gabby? What will happen if she leaves with Ethan?
In parallel stories, Hannah experiences the consequences of each decision. Quickly, these parallel worlds develop into radically different stories with significant consequences for Hannah, as well as for those around her. As the two alternative realities unfold, "Maybe in Another Life" poses questions about fate and true love: Is it written in the stars? How much of our lives is determined by chance? And, most intriguingly: Is there really such a thing as the "right partner"?
Hannah believes there is. And, in these two worlds, she believes she has found him.
