About
A fresh and funny novel about how one different choice could change everything.
Three years ago, Kennedy Rhodes secretly made the most important decision of her life. She declined her acceptance to the prestigious Windsor Academy to attend the local public school with her longtime crush, who had finally asked her out. It seems it was the right choice-she and Austin are still together, and Kennedy is now the editor in chief of the school's award-winning newspaper. But then, Kennedy's world is shattered one evening when she walks in on Austin kissing her best friend, and she wonders if maybe her life would have been better if she'd made the other choice. As fate would have it, she's about to find out ...
The very next day, Kennedy falls and hits her head and mysteriously awakes as a student at the Windsor Academy. And, not just any student: Kennedy is at the top of her class, she's popular, she has the coolest best friend around, and she's practically a shoo-in for Columbia University. But, as she navigates her new world, she starts to wonder whether this alternate version of herself really is as happy as everyone seems to believe. Is it possible this Kennedy is harboring secrets and regrets of her own? A fresh and funny story about how one different choice could change everything, Jessica Brody's In Some Other Life will keep readers guessing, and find them cheering for Kennedy until the final page.

"Brody crafts a lighthearted story very much in the vein of her A Week of Mondays (2016), examining the impact our choices can have on our lives, and shows that even the things that we most desire can come with unknown sacrifices . . . Brody's novel captures the essence of high school through her well-developed characters. A whimsical exploration of the theory of the multiverse."
