Each chapter after that would just switch between these two parallel realities and, because you only got one chapter at a time, it really kept you eager to keep reading because you’d always be left hanging on the brink of wanting ‘more’ from each of these realities.

After a string of bad luck, she decides to move back to her hometown of LA where she stays with at her best friend Gabby’s house while she gets on her feet and sorts out her life. I get it, though, her talent probably needed time to bloom and a lot of things can happen in a short period of time.And then the book proceeds by exploring both scenarios, in alternate chapters, and the path that each scenario leads to. Maybe In Another Life was a refreshingly original, uplifting, and captivating story that made my heart race, kept me glued to the page, and left me overflowing with feels.

I have yet to encounter a TJR book that hasn't left a mark on my soul or one I didn't like, and Maybe In Another Life is no exception. She’d say we shouldn’t be complimenting each other on our looks or competing with each other over who is prettier.

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?

I love her flawed characters but I love how perfect are the friendships and the family relationships are.Overall, while I found this to be a fluffy and very readable book, in retrospect I’m left wondering how I managed to enjoy it so much. Some of them were so powerful that I would find myself suddenly reading with tears in my eyes (even if it wasn’t sad). In each life, she’s found her soul mate, but she doesn’t know about the ‘other’ life so she’s completely unaware of even the potential of there being anything different than the reality she knows and the man she loves. Even though I haven’t visited Gabby in person since her wedding day two years ago, I have seen her every Sunday morning of the recent past.

The intriguing premise and well-drawn characters contribute to an emotionally uplifting and inspiring story. Hannah lives life with vigor, even when she lacks direction: messy bun on her head and cinnamon bun in hand. The story was unlike any other I’ve read, the writing was amazing, and it kept me glued to the page. Gabby was offered a babysitting job that night and decided to take it instead of going to the dance.

It's happy, it's sad, it's hopeful, it makes you laugh, it makes you cry and it checks off a lot of the boxes that I love in a book. And while it's clear that this isn't a Daisy or an Evelyn, it's got the author's name all over the emotions that transpire from its pages. Hannah was really not that bad, and through the story she had to go through some shit that broke my heart, but. I’m going to guess there’s at least four bottles of Orange Ginger body lotion in here,” Gabby says as she grabs one of my bags off the carousel. At the time, we assured each other that it was just because the timing was wrong and the distance was hard.
