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
