It's interesting to have the 2 parallel stories play out side by side, where Hannah is coming to the same conclusions in both universes is well written (same conclusion but slight difference in explaination), but the approach to some topics really annoyed me. There were some parts that felt fat shamey (would you still love me if I gained 400lbs?) and

her finding out she's pregnant and an abortion not being a thought until several chapters laterIt was very readable, but some parts definitely gave me the ick and tarnished the rest of the book.

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.
