Abstract

In Another Life follows college student Iris Larkin in the aftermath of her breakup with her long-term boyfriend, Henry. She feels as though Henry did not get the whole story about who she was in their relationship and why she was who she was, and she feels if he had known, maybe they wouldn't have broken up. In an effort to maybe get him back, she writes about the most harrowing, life-changing, experiences of her life with former lovers, family members, friends, teachers, and more, influenced by her time abroad living in Europe. Each chapter takes place in a different European city where Iris recounts how that experience changed who she was as a person and why that event led her to the person she was in her relationship with Henry. As Iris writes, she is able to come to terms with the fact that she will never be able to get over her relationship with Henry and will always love him. But she is able to do this and progress in her life.
