Path not taken
The author does a good job creating the characters and the setting and then weaves two story lines throughout the book, giving the reader what results could happen when faced with a choice. It was interesting to have a view into the alternative to the character's choice. The characters were enjoyable - not great writing, but entertaining.

Maybe in Another Life
I enjoyed the two different story lines resulting from a decision made at the end of an evening out with friends. The decision to go home with either her girlfriend or her former high school sweetheart determines two very different outcomes. The author does a good job at keeping the reader engaged in both stories, I'm still undecided on which ending I wanted for Hannah. The only complaint I have is Hannah's obsession for cinnamon rolls has carried over to me!

Maybe in Another Life
Choices - Fate? This was an interesting book with two very different stories for the heroine, Hannah. A quick read that kept me on board waiting to find out "what's next". The reader has to think about which life Hannah should have chosen.

Endless Possibilities
At first I wasn't sure I was going to like this book and I found some of the dialogue a little annoying. But, then the story took over and I was quite fascinated by the contrast between the two possibilities. I began to like Hannah, Gabby, Ethan and Henry and didn't want to put the book down. I liked the alternating chapters and it was so interesting to see how the characters interact in both "universes". I think young women will love this book, and it would make a great movie. And this senior citizen enjoyed the book and will recommend it to friends.

What If You Made The Other Choice...
This was an easy read with an interesting premise - there are options to life based on our decisions. I've often thought I would like to know what might have happened in my own life if I had made "the other choice".
I liked the structure of moving back and forth between the two "options" of Hannah's life. Both paths were realistic. Similarities were maintained with enough differences to keep it interesting. Some threads maintained between each "life" to imply that even with different choices, some elements of our life could stay stable.
The characters were developed enough without overwhelming detail to bog down the story lines. There were characters one can like and those not so much.
A good summer book.

Maybe In Another Life
Hannah's life comes to a decision between two choices. The story alternates between these two lives. Neither one is right or wrong. A basic story line that wasn't very exciting.

Maybe in Another Life
Maybe in Another Life really caught my interest with the concept of how our choices can affect our lives. Perhaps I was expecting too much as I found the book disappointing. Instead of two story lines there seemed to be four---Hannah's and Gabby's. While one choice was well developed I found the other unrealistic.. In my opinion, the book would have been better if the last three years had been left out. To me, the "happy ever after" endings weakened the stories.
