I really liked seeing Maggie get her HEA! I felt bad for her in Maybe Someday and wanted to see her find peace and love. Amazing show of talent by everyone involved in this project, especially the mind that came up with the idea. Definitely love the song track or playlist to this story! Getting the web address to this playlist is worth getting the book. At some point this author branches out to write psychological thrillers, so thankfully, I doubt there is a book that chronicles these peoples’ “Happily Ever After.” Whew!Ī HUGE P.S. Still, I guess it is easier to let go of the characters once I’m reminded they are imaginary and I’m growing weary of them. I don’t remember life being so simple back then nor do I want to remember that era of life with rose-colored glasses. Hey I like it that the characters make mature decisions about their love lives and feelings, and I like it that happiness and goodness rule.but was all too much. While I grow weary of reading books featuring one dire situation after another, I also grew weary of all the young and mature love scenarios in this book. But I only want to spend so much time revisiting that era, I do NOT want to go back there. Thought this book would never end! I think the author loved the characters so much that she didn’t want to let them go? I love the characters too they make me feel like I’m in my early twenties again: first apartment, best friends, starting out. I like how her characters encounter real life situations with Colleen giving advice to each of them. This book is more like an extension of the other ones.Ĭolleen advocates both sides of the argument reasonably well. While it’s good advice to read this after Maybe Someday I wouldn’t necessarily agree that this book is in anyway a continuation of that book. Although having just finished Maybe Not I wasn’t expecting the dynamics of these band members relationships to change so drastically. I’m not particularly invested in any one character. The stories written in multiple points of views which is fine. Rather than focusing on two main characters this one focused on the lives of six individual characters. For me this book was one I could shelve for a few days.Ĭollectively there were too many characters which crowded the story. The dialogue between characters doesn’t hold the same caliber of words that her other books do. Normally I’m hanging on every word while reading a Colleen Hoover book, but this is the first time I find myself struggling to finish a book written by her. I think this is the first time I experienced dull moments in a Colleen Hoover book. Colleen merged these components balancing each and everyone into the lives of all characters. This story had many components: music, pranks, friendship, and disabilities. There entires lives they were striving for normalcy mimicking others behaviors instead of looking for acceptance from true friends. Ridge and Maggie work to not allowing their disability define them. Maggie is faced with the challenges of her health. Ridge is faced with the choice between what is right for his relationship with Sydney and what is right for his relationship with Maggie. With so many obstacles in life these characters are faced with some difficult decisions. This book brought perfect closure to the story, and for anyone who read and loved Maybe Someday, this is a must read!! We also get to revisit the crazy of Warren and Bridgette and the progression of their relationship. We are also able to experience the growing love and intimacy between Sydney and Ridge, interwoven with the guilt, pain and jealousy of Ridge’s continued friendship with Maggie and her dependency on him. I’m so happy that In this book we were shown the complexity of Maggie, her struggles and triumphs, her fears and desires for normalcy and finding her own love. While reading the first book it was so easy to get caught up in the developing love story and connection between Sydney and Ridge, so much so, that while I felt a little bad for Maggie, I was rooting and all in for Sydney and Ridge.

After finishing one of my favorite books, “Maybe Someday “, I didn’t feel like anything was left unsaid, or was unfinished, but I was so very wrong, as I soon realized, when I started reading “Maybe Now”.

Colleen hoover maybe now
