Monique Grant for the job, no one is more astounded than Monique

From the acclaimed author of Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo comes a
breathtaking novel about a young woman whose fate hinges on the
choice she makes after bumping into an old flame; in alternating
chapters, we see two possible scenarios unfold-with stunningly
different results At the age of twenty-nine, Hannah Martin still
has no idea what she wants to do with her life. She has lived in
six different cities and held countless jobs since graduating
college. On the heels of leaving another city, Hannah moves back to
her hometown of Los Angeles and takes up residence with her best
friend Gabby. Shortly after, 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 story lines, 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. As the
two alternate realities run their course, Maybe in Another Life
raises questions about fate and true love: Is anything meant to be?
Is there such a thing as a soul mate? Hannah believes there is.

They were the new icons of rock and roll, fated to burn bright and not
fade away.
But on 12 July 1979, it all came crashing down.
There was Daisy, rock and roll force of nature, brilliant songwriter
and unapologetic drug addict, the half-feral child who rose to
superstardom.
There was Camila, the frontman’s wife, too strong-willed to let the
band implode – and all too aware of the electric connection between her
husband and Daisy.
There was Karen, ice-cool keyboardist, a ferociously independent woman
in a world that wasn’t ready for her.
And there were the men surrounding them: the feuding, egotistical Dunne
brothers, the angry guitarist chafing on the sidelines, the drummer
binge-drinking on his boat, the bassist trying to start a family amid a
hedonistic world tour. They were creative minds striking sparks from
each other, ready to go up in flames.
It’s never just about the music…

THE SUNDAY TIMES AND NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER From the bestselling
author of MALIBU RISING, DAISY JONES & THE SIX and THE SEVEN
HUSBANDS OF EVELYN HUGO 'There's something about Carrie I will take
forward with me in my life, and be a little better for. This book
comes out in a few short weeks and you should preorder it. It made
me cry twice, and when I finished reading, I had to sit for a
minute with the hole it left in my chest . . . just order it' EMILY
HENRY 'This Nineties tennis romp is a crowd-pleaser. Taylor Jenkins
Reid captures all the sweat, rivalry and glamour of elite sport'
THE TIMES 'A portrait of female ambition in all its raw and divine
glory, Carrie Soto will stay with you long after the last page is
turned' ERIN KELLY Carrie Soto is fierce, and her determination to
win at any cost has not made her popular. By the time Carrie
retires from tennis, she is the best player the world has ever
seen. She has shattered every record and claimed twenty Slam
titles. And if you ask her, she is entitled to every one. She
sacrificed nearly everything to become the best, with her father as
her coach. But six years after her retirement, Carrie finds herself
sitting in the stands of the 1994 US Open, watching her record be
taken from her by a brutal, stunning, British player named Nicki
Chan. At thirty-seven years old, Carrie makes the monumental
decision to come out of retirement and be coached by her father for
one last year in an attempt to reclaim her record. Even if the
sports media says that they never liked the 'Battle-Axe' anyway.
Even if her body doesn't move as fast as it did. And even if it
means swallowing her pride to train with a man she once almost
opened her heart to: Bowe Huntley. Like her, he has something to
prove before he gives up the game forever. In spite of it all:
Carrie Soto is back, for one epic final season. In this riveting
and unforgettable novel, Taylor Jenkins Reid tells a story about
the cost of greatness and a legendary athlete attempting a
comeback. 'An exhilarating, immersive and gripping ode to the cost
of greatness, this is Taylor Jenkins Reid's best book yet. Carrie
Soto is an icon for the ages. Five stars, ten out of ten, an A+ and
more from me!' LAURA JANE WILLIAMS 'In typical TJR fashion, it
artfully combines the heady glamour of elite sport with questions
about what happens when we find ourselves winning professionally,
but losing personally . . . an escapist beach read' STYLIST
From the New York Times bestselling author of The Seven Husbands of
Evelyn Hugo " Touching and powerful...Reid masterfully grabs hold
of the heartstrings and doesn't let go. A stunning first novel."
Publishers Weekly "Have you ever heard of supernovas? They shine
brighter than anything else in the sky and then fade out really
quickly, a short burst of extraordinary energy. I like to think you
and Ben were like that . . . in that short time, you had more
passion than some people have in a lifetime." Elsie Porter is an
average twentysomething and yet what happens to her is anything but
ordinary. On a rainy New Year's Day, she heads out to pick up a
pizza for one. She isn't expecting to see anyone else in the shop,
much less the adorable and charming Ben Ross. Their chemistry is

has never met-and who doesn't even know Elsie exists. Interweaving
Elsie and Ben's charmed romance with Elsie and Susan's healing
process, Forever, Interrupted will remind you that there's more
than one way to find a happy ending.
