Maybe in another life

From the acclaimed author of Evelyn Hugo's Seven Husbands comes a captivating novel about a young woman whose fate hinges on the choice she makes after bumping into an old flame. In alternating chapters, we see two possible scenarios unfold—with startlingly different outcomes. At 29, Hannah Martin still doesn't know what she wants to do with her life. She has lived in six different cities and held countless jobs since graduating from college. After leaving another city, Hannah moves back to her hometown of Los Angeles and stays with her best friend, Gabe. Soon after, Hannah goes out to a bar one night with Gabe and runs into her high school boyfriend, Ethan. Shortly after midnight, Gabe asks Hannah if she's ready to leave. A moment later, Ethan offers her a ride later if she wants to stay. Hannah hesitates. What would happen if she left with Gabe? What would happen if she left with Ethan? In simultaneous events, Hannah experiences the effects of each decision. These parallel worlds soon develop into radically different stories with dire consequences for Hannah and those around her. As the two parallel realities unfold, "Maybe in Another Life" raises questions about fate and true love: Is anything meant to be? Does a soulmate exist? Hannah believes there is one. And in both worlds, she finds one.
