Maybe in Another Life by Taylor Jenkins Reid
5.0
Aside from romance contemporary, I think this is my first step into lighter contemporary fiction... and ultimately the spiral into more books like it!
This book is the ultimate 'what if..?' What if you went home with your highschool sweetheart? What if you didn't? This book follows two potential timelines where the main character could have sought out very different passions in her life. Go back to the comfortable arms of someone you used to love very much and see how that version of your life could go, or move on and discover what else there is out there.
I loved this book because there is a sense of finality to both stories. It was very 'Black Mirror'-esque to see how one's life could have turned out, especially because both endings are very similar with only slightly tweaked moments and people. It was a little trippy and definitely caused me some deeper, introspective moments while I thought about my own life and how small decisions have completely veered it into unexpected directions.
