I enjoyed the idea of book having two parallel realities experienced simultaneously. I found myself wanting to like one version more than the other. I enjoyed reading the book, but it didn't really grab me.
I love parallel timelines and alternate universe stories. I find them so fun and fascinating. I enjoyed reading the overlap of each reality, and finding the lines that were shared between the two. I wonder if the book had been too short? I feel there wasn't a whole lot of depth to the stories to bring me fully invested in the characters.
The character development fell flat for me. Each character had one defining trait about them. The fact our main character's defining trait is that she likes cinnamon rolls... not quite the selling point I was hoping for.

Todo lo que es posible sucede.
Después de leer puedo confirmas que Taylor Jenkins Reid es mi autora favorita, su pluma y narración son mágicas y te transmite super bien las emociones de los personajes y aparte es una Experta escribiendo relaciones de amistad y eso me encanta.
A lo largo de mi vida he tomado nueve billones de decisiones que podrían haber cambiado en que punto estoy ahora mismo y hacia adonde voy. No tiene sentido centrarse en una sola. Al menos que uno quiera castigarse.
Hablando en específico de este libro, en el plasma lo que muchas pensamos cuando nos enfrentamos a situaciones que tienen dos posibilidades y tenemos que elegir una, y es el que hubiera pasado si elegía esta otra cosa, dándonos un capítulo de realidad a y un capítulo de realidad b, la autora nos lleva por un camino de crecimiento y entendimiento sobre el destino, sobre lo que sí está escrito se puede cambiar o mejor aún de si hay algo escrito o no
Me gustaría contar más pero ya sería entrar en spoilers, solo puedo decir que esta 10000 recomendado.

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.

Pls just stop talking about your messy buns n cinnamon rolls
Plus I already understood the fate thing after you mentioning it 3 times IT WAS ENOUGH
Also I really didn't like Ethan, he annoyed me
(P.S: I'm really tired so I'll try to summarize my thoughts with this:
I liked it, it was a good book, I just wish it was edited further.
It could have been so much better. Plus her writing definitely got better after this)
