Story4.5 out of 5 stars 274
In a small town in Sweden it appears to be an ordinary day. But look more closely, and you'll see a mysterious masked figure approaching a bank. Two hours later, chaos has descended. A bungled attempted robbery has developed into a hostage situation - and the offender is refusing to communicate their demands to the police. Inside the building, fear quickly turns to irritation for the seven strangers trapped inside. But as the minutes tick by, they begin to suspect that the criminal mastermind holding them hostage might be more in need of rescuing than they are.

Story4 out of 5 stars 28
Something dark and evil has awakened.... Evie O'Neill has been exiled from her boring old hometown and shipped off to the bustling streets of New York City - and she is pos-i-tute-ly ecstatic. It's 1926, and New York is filled with speakeasies, Ziegfeld girls, and rakish pickpockets. The only catch is that she has to live with her uncle Will and his unhealthy obsession with the occult. Evie worries her uncle will discover her darkest secret: a supernatural power that has only brought her trouble so far.

Story4 out of 5 stars 27
Laurie is pretty sure love at first sight doesn't exist. After all, life isn't a scene from the movies, is it? But then, through a misted-up bus window one snowy December day, she sees a man whom she knows instantly is the one. Their eyes meet, there's a moment of pure magic...and then her bus drives away. Laurie thinks she'll never see the boy from the bus again. But at their Christmas party a year later, her best friend, Sarah, introduces her to the new love of her life. Who is, of course, the boy from the bus.

Publisher's Summary
At the age of 29, Hannah Martin has lived in six different cities and held countless meaningless jobs. On the heels of leaving yet another city, Hannah moves back to Los Angeles and takes up residence in her best friend Gabby's guestroom. Hannah goes out to a bar one night with Gabby and meets up with her high school boyfriend, Ethan. Just after midnight, Gabby asks Hannah if she's ready to go. A moment later, Ethan offers to give her a ride later if she wants to stay. Hannah hesitates. What happens if she leaves with Gabby? What happens if she leaves with Ethan? In concurrent storylines, Hannah lives out the effects of each decision. Quickly these parallel universes develop into radically different stories with large-scale consequences for Hannah as well as the people around her.

Kept waiting for it to get good... but gave up
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
this was described to me as the "Sliding Doors" (movies with Gwyneth Paltrow) of novels. Two alternative stories start to take place after the shallow, predictable characters are introduced. Neither one is very compelling or even interesting. After reading this skimming the of the surface of any potential story, halfway through the book, I gave up on it ever getting better. It's like half a soap opera without the drama. Very disappointing.
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
I don't know or care what the ending was.
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
Performance was mediocre.
What would have made this romance irresistible?
...an interesting story.
Any additional comments?
wish i could get that time and credit back.

This book went nowhere interesting
Honestly a waste of time and a book credit. I struggled to the end but only because I had nothing else downloaded to listen to and a long car trip ahead of me. Nothing interested about the plot other than the initial twist of two parallel lives. Flat, self absorbed characters who contribute nothing out of the ordinary. Don't bother.

If you've seen Sliding Doors, you've read this novel
The story is entertaining, but far from original. I was disappointed by that.
The reader was great. The friendship between two main characters convincing.

Loved the narration but not for me
I really loved the narrator which is why I purchased the book. But the story wasn't for me. It's a neat concept of two different storylines. However, I wasn't really a fan of the way it flopped back and forth.
It was well-written and I would probably listen to another book by the author, so long as it didn't flop back and forth.

A story of how fate changes your life
If you could sum up Maybe in Another Life in three words, what would they be?
Fate, Choices, Soulmate
What did you like best about this story?
I liked how the story was unique and the parallel universes wasn't what i expected. I thought i knew where the story was going and it took a drastic turn from the very beginning. Some things in Hannah's life stayed the same no matter what choices she made, so I'm guessing that is fate.
What about Julia Whelan’s performance did you like?
I like her voice. It was calm and I could tell the differences between the characters without it being weird
Who was the most memorable character of Maybe in Another Life and why?
I think I like how Gabby added to the story. Of course Hannah was the main character and were along for the ride, but it is amazing how we got to see what was written in the stars for Gabby. It was tough to listen too, but it showed how much her character loved Hannah and in the end she got her happiness too.

A nice easy read, fascinating premise
I love the concept of this book and have not seen the movie Sliding Doors so I don’t recall experiencing a story such as this – where a person’s life unfolds told in two parallel story lines after a critical decision is made. This fascinates me because in 1990 I almost chose not to go to the party where I met my wife. If I hadn’t chosen to go to the party I probably wouldn’t have met her and what the hell would my life had been like? I can’t even imagine.
The main character in the book, Hannah, attends a party shortly after moving back to LA where she grew up, and has to choose whether to leave the party with her ex-boyfriend / high school sweetheart or go home with the couple she is staying with temporarily. The plot forks from there. In the next nine or so hours the book takes some interesting and surprising twists and turns, all while Hannah worries over and over about her bun (a high bun), and obsesses constantly about cinnamon rolls. I thought both stories were really well told and moved along at nice clip, my interest never wavered. The characters were all believable. The ending was satisfying. I liked the inherent message that our lives are based on the choices we make, not the invisible guiding hand of fate.
What I didn’t like was that the chapters were pretty short and as I listened to the beginning of each chapter I sometimes had to think to figure out which of Hannah’s lives we were in. Sometimes the author changed the story line at the beginning of a new chapter and sometimes she didn't, and often times Hannah is interacting with the same person in both lives so it was a little confusing. I wonder if the paper book had the chapters marked in some way to let the reader know which life we were in. I thought the narration was great for the most part with a minor criticism that all the men seemed to have the same breathy voice. The book was a little bit too romance-y for me at times but none of the scenes lasted very long due to brisk pace of the book.
Overall, it was pretty good and I give it 3.5 stars. It was a nice, easy listen and a welcome change of pace after having my brain taxed with science (not complaining) in the last two audiobooks I read.
I think I will check out the author’s new 2017 book The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo.

The perfect book!
I don’t say this often, but I felt this was a perfect book - for me at least. Not too chick-lit but a thought provoking story about how the choices we make define us and where they lead us to in life. The characters are great, the story moves fast and I loved the audio performance. I was carving out time in my day just to ensure I had good listening time. I’m becoming a big Taylor Jenkins Reid fan and this is my favourite so far!

Dull read
Really struggled to get through this. Dull plot and characters so sickly sweet they end up grating on you. Do not recommend at all.

I loved it and hated it all at the same time!
if you want to sample the author try The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo instead!

Cute plot but predictable
I listened to her other audiobook Daisy Jones and the six recently which was excellent so I was quite disappointed with this audiobook in comparison. The narration was ok but the voices narrator put on for the male characters distracted from the story as they were quite ridiculous. Fun plot but predictable.

time-pass
It's Ok. I loved Daisy & the Six so wasn't expecting pure romance so i was probably the wrong audience. Also in the premier league of high frequency words, up there with to, at, in, of, I, you, a, the, you shouldn't find roll and certainly not cinnamon. The performance is fine for the women. The men though all have one of two voices: a woman who smokes too much and a pompous woman who smokes too much.

Lovely book!
I absolutely loved this book! it was so different to any other books I have read before. As another reader mentioned before, the story resembles the film 'Sliding doors', but I enjoyed this more, highly recommended!

highly recommended for those with big decisions!
I downloaded this audiobook when I had a big decision to make in my own life. I would highly recommend it for this purpose. Thought provoking and engaging throughout with very likeable characters.

Riveting
Any additional comments?
Full five star recommendation. Absolutely adored this book. During the first paragraph I was thinking, yeh, yeh, here we go, and then bam, we have "Sliding doors". This I would have known had I read the synopsis beforehand. So, we follow Hannah Martin as her life unravels in two different universes so to speak. One where she is in a car accident after deciding to let fate take its course, and one where she decides to grab the bull by the horns and take a chance on her first love. Both scenarios play out with all the same characters, and Gabby remains a clear constant in both scenarios (Gabby's life too has two different courses, however Gabby's ending is somewhat the same in comparison to Hannah's). Each alternate scenario is told every chapter and I've got to say, it worked, I was engrossed. It had me thinking about my past and the what ifs, did I marry my soulmate? I certainly think I did, but so did Hannah, in both scenarios. Fantastic read, beautifully written. Highly recommend.

Managed an hour
Mostly drivel. Could be an interesting story but guess I’ll never know as I couldn’t waste another minute on it

slightly boring
too much like a mills and boon X 2 concurrent stories. Did not compare to her other 2 books daisy and 6, and 7 wives, those I enjoyed so much more. Dissapointed in this one.
