Alternate cover edition of ISBN 9781476776880 From the acclaimed author of Forever, Interrupted and After I Do comes a breathtaking new 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 meaningless jobs since graduating college. On the heels of leaving yet another city, Hannah moves back to her hometown of Los Angeles and takes up residence in her best friend Gabby’s guestroom. Shortly after getting back to town, 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 storylines, 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? How much in our life is determined by chance? And perhaps, most compellingly: Is there such a thing as a soul mate? Hannah believes there is. And, in both worlds, she believes she’s found him.

Joan Goodwin has been obsessed with the stars for as long as she can remember.

Four famous siblings throw an epic party to celebrate the end of the summer. But over the course of twenty-four hours, their lives will change forever. Malibu: August, 1983. It’s the day of Nina Riva’s annual end-of-summer party, and anticipation is at a fever pitch. Everyone wants to be around the famous Rivas: Nina, the talented surfer and supermodel; brothers Jay and Hud, one a championship surfer, the other a renowned photographer; and their adored baby sister, Kit. Together, the siblings are a source of fascination in Malibu and the world over—especially as the offspring of the legendary singer, Mick Riva. The only person not looking forward to the party of the year is Nina herself, who never wanted to be the center of attention, and who has also just been very publicly abandoned by her pro tennis player husband. Oh, and maybe Hud—because it is long past time to confess something to the brother from whom he’s been inseparable since birth. Jay, on the other hand, is counting the minutes until nightfall, when the girl he can’t stop thinking about promised she’ll be there. And Kit has a couple secrets of her own—including a guest she invited without consulting anyone. By midnight the party will be completely out of control. By morning, the Riva mansion will have gone up in flames. But before that first spark in the early hours before dawn, the alcohol will flow, the music will play, and the loves and secrets that shaped this family’s generations will all come bubbling to the surface. Malibu Rising is a story about one unforgettable night in the life of a family: the night they each have to choose what they will keep from the people who made them... and what they will leave behind.

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.

Los cuatro hermanos despiertan auténtica fascinación tanto en Malibú como en el resto del mundo, especialmente por ser los descendientes del legendario cantante Mick Riva. La única persona que no está ansiosa por que llegue la fiesta es la propia Nina, que nunca quiso ser el centro de atención y que acaba de ser públicamente abandonada por su marido, un jugador de tenis profesional. Y quizás tampoco Hud, porque hace demasiado tiempo que debería haberle confesado algo a su inseparable hermano. Jay, en cambio, está impaciente por que llegue la noche para ver a la chica de sus sueños que le prometió asistir. Kit, por su parte, también guarda algunos secretos, incluida cierta persona a quien ha invitado sin consultar a nadie. A medianoche, la fiesta estará completamente fuera de control. Por la mañana, la mansión Riva se habrá consumido en llamas. Pero antes de que prenda la primera chispa, el alcohol correrá, la música sonará, y todos los amores y secretos que han forjado a generaciones de esta familia saldrán a la luz. Esta es la historia de una noche inolvidable en la vida de una familia: la noche en que cada uno de ellos deberá decidir qué guardan para sí mismos… y qué dejan atrás.

Os quatro filhos de Mick Riva são conhecidos e admirados por toda Malibu. Mas não só pelo pai famoso. A cada ano os quatro dão uma festa épica para comemorar o fim do verão — e a de 1983 promete. Ela dura apenas algumas horas, mas é suficiente para mudar a vida deles para sempre. Malibu, agosto de 1983. É o dia da festa anual de Nina Riva, e todos anseiam pelo cair da noite e por toda a emoção que ela promete trazer. A pessoa menos interessada no evento é Nina, que nunca gostou de ser o centro das atenções e acabou de ter o fim do relacionamento com um tenista profissional totalmente explorado pela mídia. Talvez Hud também esteja tenso, pois precisa admitir para o irmão algo que tem mantido em segredo por tempo demais, e parece que esse é o momento. Jay está contando os minutos, pois não vê a hora de encontrar uma menina que não sai de sua cabeça. E Kit também tem seus segredos — e convidado — especiais. Até a meia-noite, a festa estará completamente fora de controle. O álcool vai fluir, a música vai tocar e segredos acumulados ao longo de gerações vão voltar para assombrar todos — até as primeiras horas do dia, quando a primeira faísca surgir e a mansão Riva for totalmente consumida pelas chamas.

Malibù, 27 agosto 1983. La città è in fermento: questa sera, come ogni anno, Nina Riva darà la grande festa di fine estate a cui tutti sognano di partecipare. Che si tratti di gente dello showbiz o di persone comuni, chiunque non sta nella pelle all'idea di farsi vedere accanto ai famosi fratelli Riva, figli del leggendario cantante Mick: Nina, la top model; Jay, il campione di surf; Hud, il celebre fotografo; Kit, l'adorata sorella più piccola. Chiunque, tranne la stessa Nina, che ha sempre odiato stare al centro dell'attenzione, e a maggior ragione ora che è appena stata lasciata dal marito, noto tennista. E forse anche Hud si risparmierebbe volentieri quella festa, durante la quale sarà costretto a rivelare al fratello - cui è legatissimo sin dalla nascita - qualcosa di inconfessabile. Mentre Kit ha deciso di invitare una certa persona senza prima consultarsi con nessuno. Abbandonati a sé stessi in tenera età, i quattro sono sempre stati inseparabili, un padre e una madre l'uno per l'altra. E un modello di successo per tutta l'America. Eppure, dietro quella facciata scintillante e quei sorrisi da copertina, ognuno di loro nasconde qualcosa. Segreti che stanotte verranno a galla, mentre l'alcol scorrerà a fiumi e la musica coprirà parole, lacrime, risate. Ed entro l'alba, quando ormai la villa a picco sull'oceano sarà in fiamme, ognuno dovrà anche decidere cosa del proprio passato lasciare andare in cenere e cosa portare con sé in una nuova vita.
