From that point, the book follows two concurrent storylines: one in which Hannah goes home with Ethan that night, one in which she heads home with Gabby. They go out to a bar one night and run into Hannah’s high school boyfriend, Ethan. Hannah moves back to her hometown of Los Angeles to crash in her bestie Gabby’s guestroom while she figures out what to do next. Maybe in Another Life centers on aimless twenty-nine year old Hannah Martin.
I read Maybe in Another Life, the third novel from super talented young author Taylor Jenkins Reid (her fourth book, One True Loves, is out now) a while ago, but this romantic ‘what if?’ story was on my mind as I was preparing to get married this month. (If you missed the first installment, go here). And, in both worlds, she believes she’s found him.It is a truth that book lovers and boozehounds hold dear: nothing pairs better with wine than a great book! Welcome back to Boozy Book Club, where we celebrate this match made in heaven. As the two alternate realities run their course, Maybe in Another Life raises questions about fate and true love: Is anything meant to be? How much in our life is determined by chance? And perhaps, most compellingly: Is there such a thing as a soul mate? Quickly, these parallel universes develop into radically different stories with large-scale consequences for Hannah, as well as the people around her. In concurrent storylines, Hannah lives out the effects of each decision. What happens if she leaves with Gabby? What happens if she leaves with Ethan? A moment later, Ethan offers to give her a ride later if she wants to stay.
Just after midnight, Gabby asks Hannah if she’s ready to go. Shortly after getting back to town, Hannah goes out to a bar one night with Gabby and meets up with her high school boyfriend, Ethan.
On the heels of leaving yet another city, Hannah moves back to her hometown of Los Angeles and takes up residence in her best friend Gabby’s guestroom. She has lived in six different cities and held countless meaningless jobs since graduating college. At the age of twenty-nine, Hannah Martin still has no idea what she wants to do with her life.
