Picked this book up because I was so impressed by Reid's new release, [b:Daisy Jones & The Six 40597810 Daisy Jones & The Six Taylor Jenkins Reid https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1551887263s/40597810.jpg 61127102], but despite its gimmick Maybe in Another Life is pretty standard chick lit. You basically get two love stories in one, as Reid portrays the different paths that the heroine travels based on one decision she makes. There's a bit to ponder about whether certain events are “meant to be,” no matter which path we choose. And indeed the two stories diverge in some ways but end up at the same point in others. The one true constant in both versions is the heroine's relationship with her BFF, which is a nice plug for Girl Power. I'm not sure which of the two endings is most satisfying, but both are HEAs so you get your money's worth. A quick entertaining read, maybe not as thought-provoking as the author wanted it to be.
