The Love of My Other Life tells the story of Josie, a British expat living in New York City. Or rather, it is the tale of two Josies, as her life path split three years previously, when she did or did not meet the love of her life—wealthy, handsome Rob. One Josie is now a single radio show host living in Brooklyn, with a huge crush on her friend Peter; the other is happily married to Rob and living in a fabulous Manhattan penthouse. It’s both Josies’ 36th birthday, and each is set to celebrate when they crash their bicycles at the exact spot where their lives split three years ago. In an instant, each Josie is catapulted into the other’s reality—and the other’s body.
Suddenly, single Josie has everything she ever dreamed of: wealth, a perfect figure, and an adoring husband—who, when Josie doesn’t recognize him, assumes she has amnesia from the crash. But in this new reality, her beloved brother David is dead. Josie is faced with an impossible dilemma—to try to return to her old life, in which David is alive, or to embrace this wonderful new world without her brother. Moreover, as Josie falls deeper in love with Rob, she increasingly realizes that there is another version of herself, living her former life—and that this Other Josie wants her husband back.
The Love of My Other Life is told from each of the split-protagonists’ points of view in a dual narrative. It is a story that will appeal to fans of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s Maybe in Another Life, Audrey Niffenegger’s The Time Traveler’s Wife and the movie Sliding Doors—a fantastical premise that becomes a story about love, betrayal, self-identity and that big question: “What if?”

Olivia Grainger’s coastal life in Wilmington, North Carolina, is pretty much perfect. At 28, her design business is taking off, she has a close-knit family, and she and her childhood-sweetheart, surfer fiancé Jake are getting married this summer. They’re celebrating a year of engagement at their secret quarry lake when a naked Liv slips on the clifftop and plummets to the rocks below—in the exact spot where she nearly had a fatal accident as a child.
But Liv doesn’t die. She wakes in a world where her childhood death actually happened. Where her family has been grieving her loss for 16 years. And where Jake, having eventually moved on from the death of his childhood friend, is now in love with another woman.
Void of any recent history in this version of reality, Liv has to fight to persuade her shocked family that she’s really their Olivia, miraculously resurrected after all this time. But even if she can convince them of this impossible truth, how can she exist in a world where she has no ID, no home, no job, no means of legally earning a living… not even any clothes? Not to mention winning the heart of the man who no longer knows her.
Back at the quarry lake, Jake is devastated when his beautiful fiancée Liv inexplicably disappears at their celebration picnic. In the police investigation that follows, he is placed under a cloud of suspicion. The national media headlines demand to know: What in the world happened to Liv Grainger?
From the author of The Love of My Other Life comes a new dual-narrative tale of “what if?” — of paths not travelled, and of universes crossed in the name of love.
