Review

5 stars!

Maybe Someday is the first book I have read by Colleen Hoover and it has opened my eyes to her beautiful writing and amazing stories,  and I can’t wait to read more.

Maybe not right now. Maybe not tomorrow. But maybe someday.

Sydney and Ridge don’t really know each other. They live across the courtyard from each other and when he plays guitar on his balcony, she can’t help but sing along, making up her own words. Though these stolen moments are the only times they see each other, they can’t seem to tear their gaze from searching the other’s balcony. There is a pull between them that can’t be explained but there is no intention to understand why they are drawn to each other.

When Sydney finds out that her boyfriend is cheating, her world is flipped upside down. Nowhere to go, she finds herself accepting a room in Ridge’s apartment, making her his fourth roommate, thus putting in motion a relationship that will forever change her life. Ridge writes music for his brother’s band, Sounds of Cedar, but has been in a writing slump. Sydney ends up being just want he needs. With her ability to write lyrics, she becomes his muse and a gorgeous connection is formed. They are a great team and soon the music flows.

There’s a complication to this duo though. Their attraction is crazy strong and they do everything to fight it.

I’m convinced that people come across others in life whose souls are completely compatible with their own. Some refer to them as soul mates. Some refer to it as true love. Some people believe their souls are compatible with more than one person, and I’m beginning to understand how true that might be.

What follows is a rollercoaster of emotion that will rip your heart apart and then slowly piece it back together. Well worth all the pain you go through to feel the love that’s waiting at the end, this story delivers all the feels – I cried, I smiled, I laughed, and I loved.

The characters were amazing and unique! Sydney was wonderful, down to earth, and completely relatable. I loved her personality and her big heart. She had a way with lyrics that just meshed with Ridge’s music. They were perfect together even when they could not be “together together.” She fought her feelings and I felt her pain as she did so.

And Ridge, sweet Ridge had so much love and commitment in his heart and I felt that too. He was amazing, sweet, sexy, and honest. He has his vulnerabilities but he was a brave and wonderful. He was so loyal that even when he wanted something else, he wouldn’t veer from the decision he made years earlier. I knew he would stick with it and it hurt my heart, frustrated me, but ultimately I understood him.

There isn’t a doubt in my mind that we could be perfect for each other’s life, Sydney. It’s our lives that aren’t perfect for us.

This story was full of feels. There were butterflies in my stomach and my pulse was racing. I was nervous and had a sinking feeling deep inside. The tension that surrounded Sydney and Ridge became more intense the closer they became. They couldn’t be more than friends with road blocks placed long ago, and watching everything they went through while trying to fight their attraction was painful. No matter how they denied it, there is this pull between them and I felt it all. I had happy and sad tears running down my face. I felt the turmoil in both their hearts along with the love.

I failed miserably at trying not to fall in love with you.
…
I failed first.

This story isn’t all about the angst though.  At times it was light-hearted, funny, and sweet.  I also loved the music and enjoyed the role it played in Sydney and Ridge’s life. I loved watching them connect over the music and I believed in the beautiful friendship that developed. They were honest with each other and put everything out in the open. I loved this aspect of the relationship because it strengthened their bond even more.

I have to touch on the love triangle.

This story is emotional, angsty, and unforgettable, and I  devoured it. The ending was beautiful and my heart was full of love.

Overall, I loved this book. I know I will continue reading everything Colleen Hoover writes. I can’t wait to read Maybe Not, the novella featuring Bridgette and Warren, Ridge’s other two roommates.

*Make sure you check out the EPILOGUE to Maybe Someday on Colleen Hoover’s website.  It’s the perfect conclusion to the story and I loved it.
