Title: Maybe Someday
Author: Colleen Hoover
Published: March 18, 2014
Blurb (taken from Goodreads): At twenty-two years old, Sydney is enjoying a great life: She’s in college, working a steady job, in love with her wonderful boyfriend, Hunter, and rooming with her best friend, Tori. But everything changes when she discovers that Hunter is cheating on her—and she’s forced to decide what her next move should be. Soon, Sydney finds herself captivated by her mysterious and attractive neighbor, Ridge. She can't take her eyes off him or stop listening to the passionate way he plays his guitar every evening out on his balcony. And there’s something about Sydney that Ridge can’t ignore, either. They soon find themselves needing each other in more ways than one.
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
Review: This was my first Colleen Hoover book and after hearing so many wonderful things about her I was a little upset with how flat this book fell for me. I had some pretty big issues with this book. First I'll start off on a happy note and tell you what I enjoyed about Maybe Someday. I liked the characters in the book, for the most part. I liked Sydney and Ridge together - I'd wanted them together since the very beginning of the story. I liked Ridge's character a lot because I thought it was original and unique. Ridge is deaf and it was great to read a book that contained American Sign Language. That's not something I had ever read before and I loved it. I also loved that the book is told from alternating POVs - Sydney and Ridge's. And the ending - SO GOOD.
Now on to what I didn't like. There may be spoilers so continue reading at your own risk. I hated how when Sydney finds out her boyfriend has been cheating on her the girl was a huge slut to Sydney. And then when Sydney turns around and kisses Ridge - who has a girlfriend for the majority of the book. I also didn't like how throughout the book Ridge had this whole internal monologue about what was considered cheating and what wasn't. It just irked me to no end. There was a part in the book where Ridge is talking to his girlfriend Maggie and I skimmed the crap out of the whole part of the book because, honestly, I just didn't care about Maggie at all.
Maybe Someday was good. It's a definite 3 star book. I just thought it would be better with all the hype surrounding Colleen Hoover. I still look forward to reading other Colleen Hoover books in the future, I just have slightly lower expectations.
