Synopsis (from Amazon): If you could return to the road not taken...would you?
Quinn Braverman has a perfect life, with a loving husband, an adorable son, and another baby on the way.
Quinn also has an ominous secret: she knows that another version of her life exists...one in which she made totally different life choices. But she's never been tempted to switch lives-until a shocking turn of events pushes her to cross over, and she discovers the one person she thought she'd lost forever: Her mother.
But Quinn can't have both lives. Soon, she must decide which she really wants-the one she has...or the other life...
One (or more) Sentence Summary: What a powerful question, eh? If you could return to the road not taken…would you? The Other Life, drummed up a lot of questions for me. Which of those road not taken would I go back and possible take? Quinn takes us on such a journey and it is one you won't forget.
The part I really liked, was her going back to her mother and being able to ask questions and talk with her. What I wouldn't give for that to be able to happen. The Other Life will leave thinking that is for sure. Also, watch out for the ending, I never saw it coming…what a shocker!

Favorite Character(s): Quinn's neighbor is pretty funny and adds some humor to this otherwise serious page turner!
Fast read/slow read: Average read, you are left wanting more.
