Description

Three years after making the decision to turn down her acceptance to an elite private school for the opportunity to date the boy of her dreams, eighteen-year-old high school senior Kennedy Rhodes walks in on that same boyfriend cheating with her best friend and wishes she had chosen differently. But when she hits her head and wakes up in the version of her life where she chose to attend the private school, she finds that it's not as perfect of a world as she once thought.

Reviews

Praise for In Some Other Life:

"With realistically flawed characters, plenty of humor, and much to say about the perils of wish fulfillment, Brody's novel will appeal to anyone longing for a second chance at success." --Publishers Weekly

This amusing and accessible novel explores the unexpected consequences resulting from taking a different path in life. . . . This light-hearted novel will resonate with teens who are in the midst of making some critical choices about school and relationships. --VOYA

Well written. Kennedy's friends in both realities are clearly characterized, and her family members, especially her physics-loving 11-year-old brother, steal the show. . . . A fun and light YA novel that will find a home in most collections serving teens. --School Library Journal

"The temptation to second-guess decisions is an instantly recognizable one, and Brody's execution of Kennedy's process is a thoughtful one. Readers will find themselves wondering 'What if' right along with Kennedy." --Kirkus Reviews
