unlikelyplaces 's review for:

Maybe in Another Life by Taylor Jenkins Reid
4.5
hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I picked this up to be a light, romance read for vacation and, in typical TJR fashion, I found that I was hit with quite a poignant and emotional story.

I found the themes in this quite touching and relatable as someone in their late 20s who is still very much figuring things out. 

If you're picking this up expecting it to focus primarily on the romance you might be disappointed but if you like the sound of the story that focuses on friendship, family and figuring out the important things in life this will be for you.
