Why read it?

4 authors picked Maybe in Another Life as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

In Maybe in Another Life, I was moved by how two distinct journeys stemming from one somewhat insignificant life choice can lead to a pre-destined outcome and fated love.

This book really leans into how the Universe may have bigger plans for us, regardless of how we choose to get there, which challenged my notion of the “one path-one destination” outlook when it comes to fate. I was left intrigued and inspired by the role of free will, but affirmed that destiny is destiny, after all.

I loved Maybe in Another Life—it’s such a clever, heartwarming story about the different paths our lives can take based on a single choice. The book explores fate, friendship, and love, making you think about all the 'what-ifs' in your own life. It’s one of those books that stays with you long after you finish."

Maybe in Another Life takes readers on a what if journey, showing how one simple decision can change the entire course of your life.

It is a fascinating fictional story that showcases two different timelines side by side so readers can see the slight changes one decision made. TJR is a masterful storyteller and this novel serves as a fictional case study of what if? It’s a book guaranteed to make you think about your own choices and your own what ifs?
