Maybe in Another Life by Taylor Jenkins Reid
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this book and how it looks at the questions of fate versus the choices that we make. Are we truly meant to be with a particular person? Do we really have a soulmate?

The main character Hannah is really likable, and her friendship with Gabby is the kind of friendship that is enviable. The book quickly take a split between two timelines; one based on the decision that Hannah makes to go home with her ex-boyfriend from high school and the other decision where she doesn't and she is critically hurt in a car accident. The book flips between these two timelines, where we get to see the results of Hannah's decisions. While both timelines are played out to a logical conclusion, I felt frustrated not knowing which timeline was actually the one that happened. I preferred the timeline where Hannah winds up with Henry, the nurse who helped care for her. Overall I would recommend this book, it was a fun story and the larger questions that it brings up are also interesting to contemplate.
