About this listen

From the acclaimed author of Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo comes a breathtaking novel about a young woman whose fate hinges on the choice she makes after bumping into an old flame; in alternating chapters, we see two possible scenarios unfold—with stunningly different results

At the age of twenty-nine, Hannah Martin still has no idea what she wants to do with her life. She has lived in six different cities and held countless jobs since graduating college. On the heels of leaving another city, Hannah moves back to her hometown of Los Angeles and takes up residence with her best friend Gabby. Shortly after, 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 story lines, 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? Is there such a thing as a soul mate? Hannah believes there is. And, in both worlds, she’s found him.

Bit boring

No major plot twists, quite a bland read! The amount they go on about cinnamon rolls - annoying!!!

Entertaining

An easy listen, which I did enjoy, it’s obviously a sliding doors scenario. The only problem I had throughout was that I couldn’t believe the situation that created the sliding doors. I just kept thinking to myself “who does that?!”

Loved it

Great story, easy to listen to. I really enjoyed it, ending was fairly predictable but even so I'd recommend it.

Great book

Really well written enjoyable book. He said, she said, dialogue could have done with some more variation, otherwise, great.

A good listen but:

Overall I enjoyed the story and found myself drawn into the lives of Hannah, Gabby, Ethan,& Charlamaine however some things grated:
1: the male voices- they were truly terrible sounding like Grandpa Simpson in all cases. 2: the way it was implied that it rains ALL the time in the Uk it was ok to mention it once but it was mentioned every time London was spoken about.
3: if there really is such a person as “The One” then shouldn’t Hannah have finished up with the same guy in both scenarios like Gabby did?
4: I agree with other reviews of the overuse of Cinnamon rolls “Cinnamon rolls were the main character” 🤣
On the whole it was a light enjoyable, passes the time sort of read. I may listen to it again, or I may not…

Fabulous read, though a tad confusing

I really enjoyed this actually. I will say listening to the first perspective change (aka the different side of the coin) really confused me. But I love the idea of the universe and soulmates so this was a fun speedy one x

An easy listen - if you like chick lit

I’ve listened to Daisy and the Six and Malibu Rising and really enjoyed them - so was expecting a similar vibe - however this book is a bit different and is a little on the cheesy side. It was a pleasant enough listen- I liked the characters and was intrigued as to where the story line was going - but it didn’t quite end up being what I’d hoped for. But I’m sure many will love it and if romance novels is your vibe then I recommend.
