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.

This book tried too hard to convince me that it was ~deep~

Pls just stop talking about your messy buns n cinnamon rolls

Plus I already understood the fate thing after you mentioning it 3 times IT WAS ENOUGH

Also I really didn't like Ethan, he annoyed me

(P.S: I'm really tired so I'll try to summarize my thoughts with this:

I liked it, it was a good book, I just wish it was edited further.
It could have been so much better. Plus her writing definitely got better after this)

An interesting concept and heartwarming read! Some things felt a bit cliche or predictable, and the explanation of the alternate universes theory was something I’ve heard many times before. That being said, it was still enjoyable to read!

TJR you’ve done it again. This book was so good and had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. The writing style is just so wonderful and the story and the ideas are so beautiful. The only thing holding me back from giving it a five stars was that I didn’t relate to the character, which isn’t necessary, but it meant i wasn’t as emotionally invested. It was still a brilliant book. When it was revealed that

Spoiler

Hannah was pregnant , Hannah got hit by a car, and that Mark was cheating

my jaw dropped and I had to stop reading for a bit, in a good way!!! Definitely such an interesting book!!!!
